WOW Space is a group for women, ran by women! It is a safe space, offering training and advice. Back in February, they collaborated with the Museum of Oxford in an ethnographical project called Mixing Matters! This exciting project saw the group share life stories using food, traditional cooking utensils and family bonding times.

Throughout lockdown, meetings have been taking place online. If you would like to get involved, please talk to Nicole, our Outreach Support Worker! Either call us 08000 448 407 or email Nicole at afiukjameelah@gmail.com.

Throughout lockdown, we have continued meeting online offering support sessions to families.

This included 6 weekly experiential COVID recovery sessions with Diane Regisford of The Evoke Community (@D_Regisford)! These gave families an opportunity to share their experiences of the ongoing pandemic and gain tools to care for themselves and their children.

In collaboration with Nicola Jones from the Terrance Higgins Trust, we held online parenting sessions on the internet safety and sexual health for children and adults! 

Their work includes delivering food parcels and other items, as well as creating networks of neighbours to help each other with shopping, prescription collections, and other errands. They also make and distribute masks to NHS and frontline workers and started our Kitchen Collective programme 3 months ago.
