Celebrating equality and diversity on the Isle of Wight

The weather forecast of high winds has prevented the Equals IW Friendship Group For Women attending the Saturday Market in St Thomas's Square, Newport, Isle of Wight on 2nd October 2021.

The safety of the stand and personnel would have been in doubt.

We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Some of the Group

Equals IW returned from lockdown on Sunday 4th July 2021 with a small group of friends coming together for the first time since last year. The group took part in a Sponsored Walk and Picnic raising money to help run activities for the two Friendship Groups of Equals IW.

As part of the aim to support equality and diversity on the Isle of Wight, Equals offers friendship groups for women and men of ethnic backgrounds.

For a real cultural diversity experience come and join our women's group.
