In 2024, 12 incredible Whitehorse women came together to share their stories, achievements, recipes and their biscuit tins. 

Biscuit tins are an iconic, cross-cultural symbol of the caring and nurturing roles older women play. Older women told us they want these contributions to be recognised - alongside all the contributions they make. 

In response, #TheBiscuitTin project raises awareness of the ageism and sexism experienced by older women, and promotes recognition of their achievements.
