1. Afro Hair Care & Identity Workshops

 Woolwich Community Centre
 Ages 11–18 | 30 participants

We delivered a two-week programme teaching young girls how to care for Afro hair, addressing both identity and financial barriers where families cannot afford repeated salon services.

The programme concluded on International Women’s Day, with mothers invited to celebrate their children’s growth. One young person, aged 14, shared that she avoided school holidays due to being mocked for wearing the same hairstyle throughout term. This programme directly addressed confidence, belonging, and social isolation.
