EY Bermuda has donated $3,000 to the Women's Resource Centre.

The professional-services firm said the donation was given in honour of International Women's Day and Women's History Month.

The centre provides education, training, counselling and support services for women. As a founding sponsor for Bermuda's International Women's Day event, EY is proud to have been an active supporter of the Women's Resource Centre by making annual donations for the past four years.

“The Women's Resource Centre is an important support system for women in our local community,” Cordelia Davis, EY partner and financial accounting advisory services leader, said.

“We're proud to help them provide services and workshops in our mission to build a better working world where women feel like they belong as much as men do.”

EY's Belonging Barometer study found that when people feel like they belong, they are much more likely to contribute to their full, innovative potential.

Elaine Butterfield, executive director with The Women's Resource Centre, said: “The Women's Resource Centre is grateful to organisations such as EY Bermuda for their donation in support of our services.

“Their donation shows a commitment of the women of EY Bermuda, in supporting our collaborative work of providing the support and services that the women in our community need so that they have the strength, awareness and the self-esteem to make informed decisions to better their lives and the lives of their families.”
