Supporting Armagh House — A Charity Close to Home

We are proud to partner with Armagh House, the Region of Peel’s only transitional housing program dedicated to supporting women — with or without children — who have experienced violence. Unlike short-term emergency shelters, Armagh House offers extended housing stability and wraparound support services that empower residents to heal, rebuild confidence, strengthen life skills, and move toward safe, independent living. Your support helps transform lives by ensuring women and families have access to safe, affordable, and nurturing housing — and a pathway to long-term stability.

'Wings of Change' Live Auction and Fundraiser

As part of the evening’s program, we will host a live auction featuring exciting items and experiences generously donated by local partners and community champions. As well as a Wings of Change portion of the program where you can support various programs and/or needs.  All proceeds from the auction will be directed to Armagh House, enabling them to continue their vital work in providing stability, support, and hope to women and families in need.

Whether you’re bidding on a one-of-a-kind item or making a heartfelt contribution, your participation will make a real impact. Every dollar raised brings us closer to a future where survivors of violence can confidently rebuild their lives with dignity and support.

Recap of 2025 inspiHER Gala

The 2025 inspiHER Gala was a sold-out celebration of women’s achievements, leadership, and creativity in honour of International Women’s Day. Guests were moved by powerful stories during the “Accelerating Growth Through Action” speaker series, inspired by the presentation of the Naseem Somani Memorial Leadership Excellence Award, and immersed in the vibrant works of local female artists. This impactful evening wasn’t just about inspiration, it sparked real change through the Soles4Souls campaign, which collected thousands of shoes to support women, children, and sustainability efforts around the globe.
