ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

We bring women from across Bristol together to change things that matter to them like: better health care, improving employment, making the city safer. We target women in disadvantaged communities. To do this we run volunteer led groups, courses, workshops and activities to empower and upskill women. We also advocate for women with decisionmakers. At our annual volunteer led International Women’s Day event 3,000+ enjoy workshops, discussions, performances, exhibitions, debates and networking.
