It provides an opportunity for the people involved to share and celebrate the amazing work they’ve done over the past 12 months.All five community projects came to GHT in March 2024 to pitch their ideas for a year of funded activity and creative outcomes. We Skate Soton won the public vote and were awarded a £2000 bursary. The other projects, led by Abeer Kayani &amp; Lizzie Jones, Alice Louisa, Anna Carr and Susmita Bhattacharya, were offered support-in-kind from ‘a space’ arts and were able to find other ways of funding their proposed activities and outcomes, making connections and building communities regardless. <a href="https://godshousetower.org.uk/eventer/exhibition-the-homeless-period/" title="https://godshousetower.org.uk/eventer/exhibition-the-homeless-period/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Homeless Period</a>The Homeless Period aims to amplify the voices of marginalised groups by utilising creative methods such as photo-voice and in-depth interviews with participants experiencing homelessness, to listen to and understand their perspectives and barriers to accessing basic menstrual care. The participants’ words and images are paired for a powerful display, demonstrating an urgent need for change around menstruation stigma and policy. *More about the Skate Jam:We Skate Soton are hosting a free Skate Jam as part of this event.
