BCAC member group, WONS, a women’s health charity is re-branding; from 1 January 2012 WONS will be known as Well Women & Family Trust.
WONS (Well Women’s Nursing Service) was founded in 1989 and since then has evolved significantly. Their new brand – Well Women & Family Trust - encompasses the focus on the health of women, the family/whanau and communities.
Each year WONS performs cervical smear tests for 3,000 high need women, educates over 10,000 women on a range of health issues, delivers health promotion training sessions to help local women become health advocates and conducts women's health days in low income areas.
WONS also trains over 1000 health professionals in women and children’s health.
Ruth Davy, CEO, says that “The organization has developed over the last twenty years. It became evident that as we moved into different markets the name was becoming an issue. Our values and services had changed so it was time to rebrand and start fresh.
The changeover from WONS will happen from the “inside-out” with office stationery, signage and mobile van being rebranded with the new logo first and the website/email addresses remaining the same until further notice.
Well Women & Family Trust will continue to provide free cervical smear tests through their new mobile clinic funded by SKYCITY Auckland Community Trust. Well Women & Family Trust believes that keeping our women well will in turn keep our families well.
