Women’s Financial Wellbeing Community Investment Committee

The Women’s Financial Wellbeing Community Investment Committee (CIC) is an initiative of the SEED Project developed to bring together key local stakeholders to create innovative, co-designed initiatives that are tailored to meet the specific needs of the Seymour community.

United under a shared mission of enhancing and sustaining women’s economic empowerment and dignity in Seymour, local experts from agencies and services that support women facing financial vulnerability or hardship, come together in a collaborative effort to demonstrate effective practices and advocate for systemic change.

The CIC aims to:

Exchange local insights and practice-based expertise,
Build a shared understanding of financial wellbeing for women living in Seymour,
Encourage collective problem-solving and inspire new approaches and solutions to address key challenges in the community
