It would be great if you could assist our cause by funding us to carry
out more of our programmes and projects.
We have a number of different packages we can offer and work towards a
partnership approach to our work.Contact: info@sevnecatitraining.com
We won the Mayors Award for increasing
safety. The project is included in the Domestic Violence 2007 Annual
report, “category one: for increasing the safe choices for women and children”,
including self-defence and empowerment work. All women that attended this
course said in their evaluations how they had felt more confident after the
training, how unaware they were of their rights and more especially how they
felt empowered after the training.
