All are welcome to attend, as Lancashire Women would like to encourage as many people as possible to celebrate with them.

Lauren Duckworth, Communications and Marketing Officer at Lancashire Women said: “Lancashire Women are planning to celebrate the work we do, the women (and people) we support, and all the people that support us.

“We really believe that ‘when women win, we all win’.

“We’re encouraging people to support and uplift the women in their lives - whether that’s those you work with, those you socialise with, or just those you come across in everyday life.

“Respect women and their space, and encourage them to be authentically themselves, and do so without judgement for what you may not understand.”
