Creating a comfortable and friendly space for women from refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds to talk about their reproductive health, menopause and perimenopause In partnership with The Whitworth, we’re reimagining how cultural spaces connect with local families in more accessible, inclusive and equitable ways. ما با جوامع همکاری می کنیم تا فرصت هایی را برای افرادی که در زندگی خود با مشکل روبرو هستند و می خواهند به طور کامل در جامعه ادغام شوند ، ایجاد کنیم. ما مشتاقانه از بین بردن موانع اجتماعی ، اقتصادی ، فرهنگی و زبانی اشتیاق داریم تا مردم بتوانند از یک زندگی دورتر و بهتر برخوردار شوند. x Through our partnership, Afrocats and The Whitworth are able to fund travel and refreshments for those struggling, helping to remove financial barriers to visiting the gallery.
