Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are our beneficiaries, volunteers, funders and collaborative partners. Our project is shaped by the voices of the women we support, including refugees, asylum seekers, migrants, and local women in Sunderland. Over the past year, we have engaged with over 700 women through conversations, surveys, community events, and social media. Through this feedback, women expressed a strong desire for practical skills training and creative outlets to build their confidence and enhance social connections. This input has been central to shaping the structure of the project. Community members are actively involved not only in delivering sessions but also in sharing cultural knowledge, providing peer support, feedbacks and contributing to ongoing project decisions.
