20.01.2022 KMOW is in need of a new Secretary! Is that you? As an important voice within this charitable organisation, the Secretary's role, in part, is to act as a conduit between the service and the committee. Duties include management of incoming and outgoing correspondence, preparation of meeting agendas/minutes and looking after document storage. ... This voluntary role not only brings a sense of purpose and voice to KMOW but to the wider community we live in.

02.01.2022 A very special thank you to Merlijn Nicholson who has been our Publicity Officer for the last few years. Over that time Merlijn has been juggling studying, caring for her family, and a part time job as well as assisting the KMOW Management Committee with publicity. Merlijn has now taken on a full-time position so is unable to continue with us. The Committee, particularly Susan Fahir, appreciate the assistance she has given and wish her well.

01.01.2022 As the manager of Meals on Wheels Fraser Community, Maria Daye says that while she is a strong and capable woman, she has certainly experienced gender inequalit...y within both her working and personal life. Recalling an incident as a younger woman where her gender came into question Maria recounted I applied for a job at a construction site and couldnt ever get an interview because I was a woman; I was laughed off the site. Therefore, in her role as Manager at Meals on Wheels Fraser Community, Maria says she strives to create a gender balanced work environment. Moving forward I would like to encourage and support younger women to use their skills and have self-confidence in all they do. I have been fortunate to have been guided by our Treasurer, Margaret Richters, both personally and professionally. She always lifts me up and reassures me and I wouldnt be in the position I am today without her; it would make me very happy if I could do the same for other women. #EachforEqual #MealsonWheels See more
