Dear All,

As many of you are aware I'm now working with the Health Advocacy Protect at the Manor Gardens Centre as one of their FGM Community Facilitators. As part of my role I've set up a support group for women who have undergone Female Genital Mutilation. The Health Advocacy Project has partnered with the Maya Centre which offers long term counselling and psychological support to some of the most vulnerable women in our community; women who have experienced severe trauma through domestic violence, abuse in childhood or overseas in war and conflict. For more info please visit their website http://www.mayacentre.org.uk/

We would truly appreciate it if you could all share our new project with all your contacts, I've attached our referral form, please do refer women who use your services who may need emotional support.

This our web link to upload the referral form http://www.mayacentre.org.uk/dahlia-project-survivors-fgm/

I've attached more info of the project and our flyer, please feel free to hand them out.

It’s been some months now since we contacted you with an update on the campaign to save the name of the CLR James Library when it is relocated in a new £4.4 million development in Dalston, London. As you are aware through our on-line petition and local campaigning we managed to bring enough pressure to bear on the local Council to back down on their plans to drop the name.

We are now working in partnership with local group Hackney Unites – who campaigned alongside from the outset to retain the name - to ensure that there is a lasting legacy is built in tribute to CLR James and his ideas.
