After 6 years of running as a voluntary group, the time has come to build on the great work FWFC has done and move forward in a new direction. Because of FWFC and all the people who were part of its work, there is now Rae, a Birmingham based arts organisation connecting artists with people to challenge gender inequality and inspire change.
FWFC started life as a group of women, inclusive of trans and non-binary folk, who were united by concerns around gender discrimination and the will to do something about it. Using our collective skill set, we worked with other organisations and people doing good work in the region to make a positive difference through activism, awareness-raising, fundraising and artistic engagement.
Thank you to everyone who has supported FWFC and its work in the different ways that you could. Without your belief in us, a small group of people contributing in our own way to the movement for gender equality, we could not have achieved anything.
To the ones who were there in the early days, who had the ideas, who got things off the ground, who helped to shape the vision and made things happen, thank you. You know who you are
To the ones who’ve been there for the long haul – your hard work, dedication and commitment has started the new chapter for this work ✊
