Update from the Angelou Centre

All of our services are still operational we are working remotely and onsite, following public health advice and social distancing measures. We are still taking referrals for our violence against women services and recruiting learners for our online training and activities. Our emergency refuge accommodation remains open but we are currently full.

We have temporarily suspended all activities that involve onsite face to face gatherings of people.

There are lots of pro bono offers for digital and technical support being talked about on the internet, on social channels, on online networks.

If you think your charity needs such help for digital and tech through this urgent time due to Covid-19, we want to know what that is. We hope but do not guarantee that we will be able to access such support for you.

There are 3 things you can do to help us amplify the voices of women to ensure our rights and our lives are not forgotten.
