Be kind to your mind. That might look different for everyone. It might mean reaching out to someone you trust, taking a break, asking for help, or simply giving yourself permission to not be okay today.

What a wonderful evening! πŸ’Ž

Last Thursday, the incredible team at Ainsworth Jewellers hosted their glamorous Dazzle & Decadence evening.

The event raised vital funds for both Lancashire Women and Advocacy Focus, and the generosity of everyone involved was truly heart warming. Events like this make such a real difference to the women and families we support across Lancashire every single day.

A huge thank you to everyone at Ainsworth Jewellers, to every single person who attended and supported the evening, and a very special thank you to Helen Dimmick for bringing it all together so beautifully. ✨

This is what community looks like. 🩡

Abuse does not always look the way we expect it to. It is not always visible.

It can look like love bombing and trauma bonding. It can look like coercive control and gaslighting. It can look like financial abuse, parental alienation or sexual abuse - and it can be incredibly hard to recognise when you are living inside it.

That is exactly why we created Eyes Wide Open.

Eyes Wide Open is a free six-week group programme designed to help women identify harmful behaviours, understand their impact and reclaim their confidence and sense of self - in a warm, safe and completely non-judgemental space.

What the programme covers:
πŸ‘‰ Love Bombing and Trauma Bonding
πŸ‘‰ Coercive Control and Gaslighting
πŸ‘‰ Parental Alienation and Intimidation
πŸ‘‰ Sexual Abuse
πŸ‘‰ Financial Abuse

Next start date: πŸ“… Preston | Thursday 5th November | 10:00am β€” 12:00pm

"Every woman you know has taken a longer route.
Has doubled back on herself.
Has pretended to dawdle by a shop window.
Has held her keys in her hand.
Has made a fake phone call.
Has rounded a corner and run.
Every woman you know has walked home scared.
Every woman you know." Harriet E Johnson

Violence against women and girls remains one of the most pressing issues of our time. Harriet is a barrister at Doughty Street Chambers in London, one of the UK’s leading human rights chambers and author of the book "Enough: The Violence Against Women and How to End It" (Harper Collins, 2022)

In her keynote speech at the Festival of Women 2026, Harriet will explore how the justice system responds to violence against women and girls and what that experience truly looks like for the women living it every single day.

Everyone needs to be part of this conversation! Find out more and book your place here https://lancashirewomen.org/festival-of-women-2026/harriet-johnson/
