On Friday 10th August our local MP Bridget Phillipson called in to Space4 to view the Votes for Women Exhibition and chat with service users and volunteers. The exhibition has been running all week and was the brainchild of Jorgie Carmichael (pictured below with Bridget) who originally came to Space4 as a service users; she is now a volunteer and a vital cog in the running of the project along with being a member of St Michael’s congregation, the choir and the Gilpin Singers!
Bridget enjoyed looking at the varied exhibits which celebrate struggle and achievement of local women including herself, local Councillors, artists, members of our congregation, women clergy, learners from the Kepier School and many more. She also took the time to chat with volunteers and service users.
There’s still time to call in to view the exhibition as it will be running until Saturday 18th August 2018.
