Chesterfield Equality and Diversity Forum event
Chesterfield residents can celebrate inspirational women at an event organised by the Chesterfield Equality and Diversity Forum to mark International Women’s Day.
Motivational speaker, Beverley Burton will lead equipped2succeed sessions which enable people to develop the thinking and behaviours to continuously improve, achieve, overcome challenges as well as maintain balance in life and wellbeing.
An art therapy taster drop-in session will be provided by The Elm Foundation, a local charity which offers a range of services to support those affected by Domestic Abuse.
From 11am, there will be series of short talks from local inspirational women including: Sally Goodwin, chief executive of SV2, an organisation which supports victims of sexual violence; Julie Richards, principal and chief executive of Chesterfield College; Councillor Tricia Gilby, the first female leader of Chesterfield Borough Council and Beverley Burton, founder of equipped2succeed.
This will be followed by a question and answer session with these speakers.
The event is open until 1pm and lunch is provided by Gussie’s Kitchen, a community volunteer led social eating project where every week dedicated volunteers cook a fresh, healthy low cost meal for the community at St. Augustine’s Church.
