🎅MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY, HEALTHY NEW YEAR❄️
to you all ❤️
From the team at Women Stepping Out 🎄✨
As we head into the New Year, we have an exciting “Coming Soon” programme in the works!
✨ Monthly Wednesday Wellness Walks
✨ Weekly Friday Spotlights celebrating the “Wonderful Women of Warwickshire”
That’s just the beginning - we have more planned, so keep watching this space!
We hope you’re feeling ready for the festive season and the Christmas and New Year school holidays. However, we also know that this time of year isn’t joyful for everyone. When it seems like everyone else is busy buying gifts and spending time with friends and family, it can feel especially hard if that isn’t your experience. Please remember, you don’t have to go through it alone.
Email us or leave a message on our Facebook Forum. Talk to us. Don’t suffer or worry in silence.
✨ Past Events Highlights
🌝🚶♀️Full Moon Walk
Date: November 5, 2025.
Summary: Three of us set out on the first full-moon walk of the winter, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Beaver Moon. Although the sky was cloudy and the moon stayed hidden, we were treated to fireworks glittering across the river and the sound of more in the distance. Strolling through a wooded area felt wonderfully atmospheric and almost magical. It made for a very pleasant evening — just walking and chatting about life.
❄️🎅 Christmas Fayre
Date: November 15, 2025.
Summary: Once again, this was a bustling and enjoyable event, with several stalls offering Christmas gifts and decorations, along with wood carvings, cakes, toiletries, and other festive treats. We also had our ever-popular Lucky Dip, a Basketball Game, and—available for donations—some beautiful pieces of handmade costume jewellery created by a local artist who is one of our talented volunteers.
