We have now confirmed the date of the Grand Opening of the new offices for Friday 5th March between 3:30 and 7:00pm.
A number of our supporters will be attending but give us a call or email if you need any further information, please give us a call on our new phone number, 01422 886545. (Our website is in the process of being updated with the new details)
As usual, there will be an International Tuesday blog at

We have recently had confirmed that we have been allocated space for a stand at the NUT Conference in Liverpool so we will be there between 2nd and the 4th of April (easter Weekend) as well as the NASUWT Conference in Birmingham on the same dates.
Look forward to seeing you there!
As you all know, the issue of violence against women is not only a UK problem, but a global one. So, every Tuesday on the WRC London blog will be International Tuesday - a day where we post an article related to violence against women in another country (with the aim of having the author be from that particular country), to show our solidarity with the women and girls of the world.
A very warm welcome to Selene Trevelli who has come over from Italy to work with us for a few months.
We are sure that together we can swap ideas on taking the White Ribbon Campaign forward and discuss the ideas behind White Ribbon Towns etc.
We’ve been lucky enough recently to have visits both from Kaitlin Bardswich of the London branch of the White Ribbon Campaign (www.whiteribbonlondon.blogspot.com) and also Callum Hendry of White Ribbon Scotland (www.whiteribbonscotland.org.uk).
We feel that both were impressed with our new, larger premises and the number of new volunteers that we now have promoting awareness of male violence towards women and girls.
Check out their areas and if you can’t obtain the information that you want, do not hesitate to contact us at our main office.
Firstly, we hope that you all had a good Christmas and New Year celebrations.
Well we’re finally in our new home in Mytholmroyd and despite still trying to find things still in boxes, we’re settling in well.
We will keep you up to date with the exciting new events planned for the year so watch this space.
Just to let everyone know that we now have a blog for White Ribbon Campaign London at

I’m sure you’ll like it!
Hello and thanks for everyone who supported the Campaign at the Gala Dinner on 20th November. Between this and the These Heels Are Made for Walking event, we raised around £3,000 pounds to help us in the campaign against mail violence towards women.
PS: here are a few more pictures of the Heels event that I found somewhere on our computer!
The These heels were made for walking event held on 14th November was a massive success and we had a brilliant turn out (25 men!) and raised a lot of money for the charity! It is definitely looking like it will be an annual event for the White Ribbon Campaign!
We had some of the stars come out and walk around Hebden Bridge in high heels in support of the campaign including
Nader Fekri the Deputy Mayor of Calderdale MBC, the mayor of Hebden Royd Mr John Beacroft-Mitchell, Frank Watene from Halifax Rugby League, a local Methodist minister - and of course our own Chris Green - and here are some of the pictures to prove it!
