We are so excited to be taking part in @thehanoversocial on Sunday 12th June to raise money for @voicesinexile 💙 🇺🇦 The last few years have really shown us that community is everything, so our creative community is coming together for a day-long festival in celebration of our much loved local spaces and faces 🙌 We want to unite the spirit of Hanover in support of the amazing work Voices in Exile do with refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants because frankly, we can't do enough 🕊️ 🌍 For those local - come join us and say hello at the Creative Yard Sale, and for those further afield who feel this cause as deeply as we do, you can donate on our @justgiving page - link in Stories! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE 😊😊😊 More updates to come 🙌 . . . . . . . #voicesinexile #standwithukraine #sendlove #community #hanoverbrighton #helpukraine #refugeesarewelcome #chooselove #justgiving #creativebrighton #socialenterprise #brighton #charity #calledtobecreative #creativebusiness

Happy International Women's Day 💫 Being a female-founded company, it's incredibly important to us to champion Women's rights and gender equality ✊ This year the focus is #BreakTheBias to try and move closer to a gender equal world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination - because equality means a better world for everyone 👌 . .
