To mark White Ribbon Day this year, the SW15 Women’s Network has organised a torch parade
This is in support of the global movement to end violence against women and girls.
They will march on Thursday 21 November starting at 6pm at the junction of Danebury Avenue and Roehampton Lane. If you would like to join them, bring a torch, lantern or a mobile phone with you.
50 women were killed by their partner or ex‐partner in the first 6 months of this year in England and Wales.
The SW15 Women’s Network aims to create a supportive and inclusive community where every woman feels valued and empowered.
It holds a range of events, workshops and networking opportunities including monthly Zoom meetings with guest speakers.
Founded in October 2021 with just ten members, over 100 women have joined since.
Like Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism. Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site. One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute. If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor. For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you’d like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT.
