Changes to services during the heatwave
Red weather warnings for severe heat are in place on Thursday 25 June and Friday 26 June, with high temperatures expected on Saturday. This may impact some Council services.
Led by local author Farzana Hakim, this workshop invites women into a creative space where the body becomes the starting point for storytelling. Exploring the idea of the woman’s body as the mother of all stories, the session delves into the experiences that shape women’s lives, including menopause, health challenges, pain, and the often unspoken truths that many women hold within themselves.
Participants will be guided through creative writing and oral storytelling exercises designed to help them articulate their lived experiences. The workshop provides a supportive, women‑only environment where voices are heard and where connection and strength can be found in each other’s narratives.
