Civic welcome for inspirational women
A group of inspirational women from all walks of life will
swap their stories at a special networking event at Liverpool Town Hall this
week.
On Friday, 27 March 2015, Lord Mayor Councillor Erica Kemp CBE will celebrate the
achievements of local organisations such as the Women's Organisation, who
support women starting their own business, Safeplace, the sexual assault
referral centre and Blackburne House who provide education and training to
support women into jobs.
Councillor Erica Kemp said:- "It was great to be involved in so many
activities this year for International Women's Day and as Lord Mayor of this
amazing City it's fantastic that I can highlight one of the many roles that are
available for women today.
I am delighted to be welcoming so many strong and positive women here to the
Town Hall, I hope they can learn from each other and benefit from sharing their
experiences as a positive role model for women."
Councillor Emily Spurrell, Mayoral lead for Community Safety said:-
"'There are so many organisations in Liverpool that provide valuable support to
women whether it be starting their own business, mental health support or
providing a safe space for women suffering domestic abuse.
As a culmination of the campaigns and events which took place for International
Women's Day we just wanted to take a moment to say thank you and express how
much we appreciate the work they do."
