As part of the community response to domestic violence project, which aims to make people in Custom House more able to respond to domestic violence past and present that is happening in the area, PEACH has been hosting coffee mornings and self-defence sessions.
PEACH hosted coffee mornings which ran in a 6-week programme weekly from the end of July weekly until September, and less frequently since then. Members did grounding exercises, wrote out a ‘bill of rights’ which centred what they want women to be able to experience in the area, shared experiences, ideas to make the community safer and shared refreshments!
Since the start of October, Self defence sessions where members are taught skills to defend themselves, helping women feel more confident in the E16 streets! Sign up if you would like to take part: https://forms.gle/sM1zWksmuQbitkhe7
