Welcome to The Hornsby & District Branch
Located at the southernmost point of the Northumberland Group, but the Northern most point of Sydney suburbs, the Hornsby & District Branch encompasses the best of both worlds. By embracing and functioning in a busy metropolitan hub which brings many nationalities and cultures together whilst still retaining the natural beauty of the surrounding national parks and bushland, our members are faced with a very diverse membership base.
Here at the Hornsby and District Branch, sharing and teaching new skills to ladies who have never had the opportunity to engage in this type of activity before, while still being fully involved in the community in which we are based, is a win/win for all members. We consider Friendship and support for one another the main strength of our Branch, and if we were asked what the members of our branch were good at, we would have to say we have some amazing cooks, some amazing handcrafters, and we are very successful at fundraising which allows us to support many organisations. Our branch participates in everything that the CWA has to offer together with many community events which include:
- Monthly catering for Council Citizenship Ceremonies
- We run several Street Stalls each year
- We run a Christmas Market each year
- Our Jam (we are very proud of our Jam) is sold through 2 retail outlets
- We also cater & sell our Jam at several Craft Exhibitions each year.
As well as the above, Drought Relief Fundraising has been a large focus of the branch with money also being channelled into medical research projects. We also do Local chats on community radio which helps keep the public informed with what we have happening.
We are about friendship, community and connection
