Cresta Shopping Centre honours Windsor women during celebration

Local organisations and businesses partnered to inspire, empower and connect women through wellness and fashion.

Cresta Shopping Centre partnered with Windsor Community Support Services (WCSS) to host a women’s month celebration aimed at inspiring, empowering and connecting local women.

The programme celebrated women’s achievements, encouraged personal well-being and highlighted community support. WCSS representative Mathabo Bekimbia-Tchoffo explained that the inspiration behind the event was to honour the women of Windsor who carry their households, workplaces and community forward every day, often without recognition.

“We wanted to create a space where women could pause, be celebrated, and connect through open conversation on empowerment, health, wellness and beauty,” she said.

Bekimbia-Tchoffo said the event was an outstanding success with a wonderful turnout. “Women, young and old, came out in numbers to celebrate one another in a spirit of unity and warmth,” she said.
