Bernadette is happy to support women who attend her session as she is a qualified Mental Health First Aider.

4.40pm Michelle Conway, Keira’s Kingdom
Michelle Conway, founder of Stockport Charity Keira’s Kingdom, along with a lady currently receiving support from Keira's Kingdom, will be using International Women’s Day as a platform to address the issues of judgement, inaccessibility, hate crime and invisible illnesses to #Breakthebias by talking about the stigma that still surrounds most disabled adults and children.
5.20pm Kelly Mallinson, Sew Unique Artwork
Kelly Mallinson from Sew Unique Artwork will introduce us to her creative business where she captures life's most memorable moments in embroidery. There are many wellbeing benefits of hand stitched embroidery and you’ll be surprised at the ways you can use it to be creative with children too! Kelly invites you to try your hand at a spot of embroidery and will have examples of both machine and hand embroidery on display during the session.

یادت سبز
جز اولین عکس هایم بود که دوست داشت

اشتباه می کنم یا نه؟ واقعا اوست که پر کشیده؟ او که می گفت پر از داستان است؟ دختری از میان ده ها دوست واقعی که از دوران رونق فلیکر در دنیای مجازی پیدا کرده بودم. همه آنها را دوست دارم و از همگی آموختم. دردناک است که چند نفر از این جمع پر کشیدند. روح همگیشان شاد.
ژابیز عزیز هیچ گاه شانس دیدنت از نزدیک را پیدا نکردم. با این حال زیبایی و لطافت روحت را از راه دور تجربه کرده بودم. یادت گرامی و پروازت بلند
In loving memory of Jabiz, the girl full of stories to tell. You will be greatly missed.
The picture was one of my first photos that she commented on. This is how our friendship began.
