For Schools

Having conversations about equality, women’s rights, inclusion and healthy relationships from a young age is vital in the aim to end misogyny and violence. But starting these conversations can be challenging.

We’ve made a brief PowerPoint presentation with ideas on how to approach young people when discussing relationships, women’s rights and equality.

Fundraising is a great way to challenge your students in a number ways that can progress their employment skills. Event planning, time management, target-driven activities, organising a fundraiser can help them improve in all of these areas. It also allows your young people to focus on a local issue that affects many women in our community. Fundraising can give them a sense of connection to a cause and recognition of making life changing affects on someone.

First Give

Get your class involved in social action for Solace by signing up to First Give. First Give invites multiple classes in your school to get involved in fundraising or awareness raising for a charity or cause of your choosing. Each class chooses how you want to get involved, what activities you want to participate in, and once the action stage is done, present your hard work to a panel of judges. The class who is judged to have the best action and presentation, will win £1000 to go towards the charity.

By signing your school up to First Give and selecting Solace as your chosen social cause, you can help spread awareness of an issue that affects 1 in 3 women. You can use your creativity by brain storming ideas, practice your organisation of events, and highlight your communication skills, all whilst supporting women and children across London.

Hear How Joe’s Class Got Involved

“I am a school teacher working in High Barnet. Through the discussion of high profile cases such as those of Sarah Everard and Child Q in form time, a small but articulate and determined group of students in my class have become very passionate about issues surrounding male violence against women. They were inspired to discover Solace Women’s Aid were operating in the local area and made a powerful presentation to their peers outlining the charity’s mission statement. Their words convinced the whole class to come together in support of Solace Women’s Aid and we are now planning a series of social actions designed to raise awareness and funds for the cause through First Give.”
