In March 2014 a speaker from BAWSO came to our meeting to tell us more about Female Genital Mutilation, and how their local organisation provides specialist support for BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) people in need. We continue to raise awareness and lobby on the subject. Their helpline is open 24 hours on 0800-731 8147 and their local support service is in Wrexham.
