We are a social group with a social purpose.
Our Social Purpose - Supporting Local Charities
Every two years we select a local charity or charities to support through our membership fees and fundraising activities. We function to grow our own community while actively giving back to the wider community. We select Barcelona-based organisations with a focus on women. We currently support Lligam Dona, who provide emergency assistance and longer term services to women escaping domestic abuse or who are in danger of falling through society’s cracks.

“When I came to Barcelona, the person in San Francisco that told me about BWN said, “You can try it out a couple of times without paying, but just join right away, the outings themselves are worth the membership fee!” I really do think that is true. Awesome job!!!!!”
