Women’s Design Service are setting up Women’s Design Groups across 12 London Boroughs over the next 3 years. Georgia Wrighton is WDS' Community Development Worker employed to deliver this London Councils funded project.

 

Women’s Design Groups perform for gender what Access Groups delivered for disability, and bring about ‘women proof’ local plans, policies and major planning applications. WDGs include both women who are professionally involved in planning and the built environment, and women from the community who have an interest in becoming more knowledgeable and engaged with issues affecting their neighbourhoods.

 

The Groups’ membership will include as diverse a range of women as possible, from different age, disability, ethnicity, sexuality and caring backgrounds.

 

We will be setting up groups in Barnet, Enfield, Redbridge, Westminster, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark, Wandsworth and Bromley and in the third year, Hillingdon, Ealing and Brent.

Contact Georgia at gwrighton@wds.org.uk or by telephone on 020 7490 5210 if you are interested in joining one of the groups or would like to be kept informed.
