Current Projects
Helping Local Refuges
We support 3 local refuges by providing welcome packs (toiletries, note pads etc), moving on packs (buckets, cleaning products etc for when a resident moves into her new accommodation) and Christmas presents. A bunch of welcome packs are shown left
Audrey Jones Journalism Prize
Named in honour of our late member, Audrey, who started this project, each year we present two cash prizes to students from Nottingham Trent courses- BA Journalism Course and BA Broadcast Journalism Course. Students are encouraged to submit entries based on topics relevant to women and girls
Lend With Care
Using the Lend With Care organisation, we fund raised to get our initial 'seed capital' which we used to provide micro loans to women across the globe. When we get repayments we recirculate them, making even more microloans
