“Where she was to where she is now: Celebrating the Women and Girls Initiative” is a new animation film produced as part of the Women and Girls Initiative (WGI) Learning and Impact Services and funded by The National Lottery Community Fund. Made by Leeds Animation Workshop, the film shares words and drawings from women and girls supported by, and working for, WGI projects. Projects were funded to offer flexible, holistic support and the film illustrates the difference that specialist services for women and girls can make. It gives a moving insight into how important the Initiative has been in helping projects support women and girls to grow.

The film was created with the following seventeen WGI projects: The Angelou Centre, Aspire, A Way Out, Birmingham and Solihull Women’s Aid, Chayah Development Project, Leeway, The Nelson Trust, North Devon against Domestic Abuse, RISE, Saheli, SERICC, Sheffield Women & Girls Recovery & Empowerment Partnership, Southall Black Sisters, Women at the Well, Women’s Community Matters, Wild Young Parents Project and Young Women’s Outreach Project.The film about the Tavistock Project is a documentary outcome out of several zoom workshops “Leeds Animation Workshop” has done with women suffering from social issues.

The animation is based on drawings from women and girls frequenting the workshops.

I participated by helping with the animation and recording some music at home to support the film acoustically.
