1/ FiLiA is driven by the passion + dedication of its team.

Our annual event is unfunded and organised by volunteers. In 2019 we measured the Woman-hours that made FiLiA happen ... 8,344! It's more now, as FiLiA has grown.

Some things along the way ...

2/ We took FiLiA out of London to reach more Women and to grow the movement. Our CEO moves every year to hear from and engage local Women.

We gained charitable status.

We started the Friends of FiLiA scheme to support Women to participate in FiLiA.

3/ We've held FiLiA in #London #Manchester #Bradford #Portsmouth

1,350 tickets were sold last year. We anticipate that #FiLiA2022 in #Cardiff will be even bigger

So far Women from 62 countries have made their way to FiLiA to speak.

My friend Saira had me over to her house for dinner with three other women in their 50s and so of course it was a most raucous night, not least because Rachel makes crochet vulvas with a bead in place of the clitoris and I chose a rainbow vulva Mona holding a crochet vulva on top of her genital area as s

I have been looking at the MSOA data for cases to 6 September 2020 at arcgis.com/apps/webappvie… . There are some places with very high case numbers.
#Sunderland - Houghton West (Houghton-le-Spring) has 45 cases in the week to 6 September. Which is an incidence of *560* cases per 100,000 (assuming a MSOA population of 8000) Image
#Bradford - Shearbridge and University has 37 cases in the week to 6 September. Which is an incidence of *460* cases per 100,000 (assuming a MSOA population of 8,000) @UniofBradford Image

Nice to see there's still plenty of money in the public sector:

Bradford - approved £5.5m for the development of an Advance Fuel Centre and the replacement of vehicles with compressed gas variants. To be funded by fuel cost savings and additional income from sales.
I like to think the principles of our work - pragmatism, truth-telling and reality of the situation, apply to all areas, not just retail.

Not in writing reports that show your target is getting further away, and worsening..... Image
Just look at that bottom metric.

Target is 9.76. (days of sickness, a year!) Was 10.25, now 12.96.
