women in london

Women’s Design Service is setting up Women’s Design Groups across London for women who are interested in the design of their local area, want to know more about planning issues and how to become more involved in policies and proposals relating to buildings, parks, housing, streets and transport.

All of our meetings are held in accessible venues, and we can reimburse travel and childcare expenses.

If you would like to get involved or just want some more information, contact Project Worker Georgia Wrighton by email at gwrighton@wds.org.uk or telephone 020 7490 5210. You can also look at our website for details of forthcoming meetings and events, and our other projects at http://www.wds.org.uk
