Our grant helped organizers run a local workshop event in Paisley Town Hall to raise awareness across Renfrewshire of the sensitive issues surrounding gender violence.
One woman who attended gives her account of how the workshops and conference have helped her move forward with her life, including becoming a member of the RWA: “I feel fortunate that I have had the opportunity to receive support to help me move forward with my life. RWA and the work that they do every year inspire me and many other women. I have recently become a member of RWA and will be part of the planning group for the next conference, allowing me to further develop my skills as part of a creative team and continue to promote awareness of a very important cause close to my heart.”
