This year @FORWARDUK we celebrate the 10th anniversary of our young women's leadership training with our 2026 cohort. Excited to be working with 18 young women & our partner @HomeGirlsUnite to build new feminist leaders. Truly grateful to @comicrelief & @TNLUK for their support.

I woke up with real positive energy from the @FORWARDUK Tuwezeshe leadership training. A fellow said "Am leaving this weekend feeling much more educated & aware of the issues facing women & girls. As well as feminism & so much to reflect on." Thanx to @HomeGirlsUnite & the team!
