OUR MISSION

FIVE WELSH WOMEN • FIVE STATUES • FIVE YEARS


We're Monumental Welsh Women, the team behind the first ever statues of real welsh women in Wales. Our mission is inspired by the fact that before we started our campaign, there was not one single public statue commemorating the achievements of real Welsh Women. Welsh girls couldn’t see what they could be. We aim to change this by commissioning 5 statues of 5 real Welsh women.  We have so far successfully delivered the iconic Betty Campbell Monument in Cardiff and the beautiful statue of Elaine Morgan in Mountain Ash - but we have 3 more statues to deliver to complete our mission.
