Open forum and women’s groups
including multicultural forum
Her Centre runs open forums every three months
on key subjects that impact on women. These are open to anyone interested
and provide a space for discussion.
Her Centre also runs a monthly women’s
group, and a multicultural forum. The multicultural forum brings
together women from different backgrounds and cultures in order
to help meet other women in Greenwich and decrease isolation, as
well as sharing information and giving access to training.
