T-shirt printing and discussions at the LGBT centre!

30th June 20177th August 2018 / youngwomenshealthproject

This week at Young Women’s we spent the evening at the LGBT centre making statement t-shirts from screen printing, and they turned out pretty awesome! The ideas for each statement came from discussions we were having throughout the session, ranging from abortion laws in Ireland to stereotypes among lesbian/bisexual women and how we identify ourselves.

We ended up spending so much time deep in conversation that it was a bit of a rush to get the stencils cut out and get the paint on the t-shirts but with the help of Chloe, we got it done!

This was a really enjoyable session that we hope to have more of in the future, and we can’t wait to get our t-shirts back next week as soon as the paint has dried!

First cycling session with Bike Right!

27th April 20171st May 2018 / youngwomenshealthproject

We kicked off the first of six weeks of cycling this evening with glorious sunshine and a handful of Chewits – just the right concoction to keep our energy levels up!

We met at 4:15pm at Sidney Street Cafe to bring the bikes over to the Sheung Lok centre. This proved slightly more difficult than expected as the bikes outnumbered the people! Thankfully, Claire used all of her biking experience to carefully carry two bikes at the one time. A mighty feat it was. Helmets off to you, Claire!

After snacking on some treats at Sheung Lok and doing our introductions, we all headed over to the grounds of Medlock Primary School to learn the basics of cycling. Snigger all you like but even those of us who have been cycling for years struggled to pull off an emergency stop and swerve!

Not everyone was as confident with one-handed cycling or turning corners at the beginning but by the end of the session, we all felt capable of hitting the road next week. So confident even that some of us tried our hand at, well, no-handed cycling… It’s safe to say we won’t be attempting that on the roads any time soon!
