It’s sad to see in a modern society people want to obstruct a woman’s choice. Abortion is a healthcare & this is the hardest decision for a woman to make but is her body & no one should make this decision for her. Buffer zones legislation needs to be prioritised #WomensRights

The sun was shining for our exhibition celebration at David Livingstone Birthplace on Saturday🌞 Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the fab artwork our volunteers helped create in the first of several workshops that challenge & expand on the history of David Livingstone🦁

Thank you so much to @KAMackinnon for hosting us for such a lovely session. We really enjoyed it and it was so nice to share everyone's wonderful creations in such a fun environment like Glasgow Zine Library !

Thank you to #GlasgowArtMap for donating us a bundle of maps for our EWfC offices. We have been putting them in goodybags for our volunteers who are new to the city!

When we last visited the David Livingstone Birthplace museum we asked our volunteers to pick out what interested them. We are making our own tour and so we are thinking about what draws us, what more we would like to learn about it, and how to share our ideas. This was Ume's pick:

Great to be out the museum and having a saunter through Glasgow last week with CRER exploring the city's links to the slave trade and abolition movement. So interesting to have these histories made visible in the architecture of the city today. Thanks again!

Enjoyable cycling session with Carol and the team SunnyCycles today!
