Men, this one’s for you. 💜
This year our Solidarity Walk turns five, and 2026 marks 25 years since we lost Cassandra, the woman whose memory sits at the heart of everything we do. In those 25 years, too much has stayed the same. Change happens when men decide that silence isn’t an option: when you call out the joke, check in on your mates, and make it clear that violence against women and girls has no place in your community.
Walking with us is a simple, visible way to take that stand. On Friday 27th November, as part of the global 16 Days of Activism, join us at Lambeth College Brixton Centre at 5pm. We’ll pause at the Ritzy, move through Brixton Market and down Coldharbour Lane, finishing together at Lambeth Town Hall alongside the Deputy Mayor.
Bring your brothers, your sons, your friends. Show up for the women and girls in your life.
Ensure justice. Protect survivors. End impunity. ✊🏾

This year our Solidarity Walk turns five, and it carries a weight that feels especially close to our hearts. 2026 marks 25 years since we lost Cassandra, the woman whose name and memory sit at the heart of everything we do. 💜
On Friday 27th November, as part of the global 16 Days of Activism against gender based violence, we’re inviting you to walk with us through Brixton to honour her, to stand with survivors, and to demand an end to violence against women and girls.
We’ll set off from Lambeth College Brixton Centre at 5pm, pause at the Ritzy, wind up through Brixton Market and back down Coldharbour Lane, finishing together at Lambeth Town Hall. We’re also proud to share that the Deputy Mayor will be walking alongside us this year.
Everyone is welcome: women, girls, men, boys, families, friends and neighbours. Ending violence against women and girls is everyone’s responsibility, and every step counts.
Ensure justice. Protect survivors. End impunity. ✊🏾

🌱 Come grow with us in our new programme, Roots + Wings 🌱
This September, the Cassandra Centre is opening the doors to Roots + Wings, a brand new programme for women in Wandsworth, led by survivors, for survivors. It’s a warm, welcoming space where you can take a breath, be yourself and start building the skills and tools to write the next chapter of your life.
Over 12 weeks together, we’ll explore:
🌿 Finding and using your voice
🌿 Recognising your strengths
🌿 Building healthy relationships
🌿 Understanding your rights
🌿 Developing financial independence
🌿 Personal safety and wellbeing
🌿 Creativity and communication
🌿 Hopes, goals and possibilities for the future
📅 Mondays for 12 weeks, starting 14th September 2026
⏰ 11am to 1pm
📍 4 Broomhill Road, Wandsworth, London, SW18 4HX
We ask everyone to commit to the full 12 weeks, as it’s this steady rhythm together that helps us build the trust and connection the group is built on.
Because who better to walk alongside you than women who have walked this path themselves. If this feels like it might be for you, or for someone you know, we would love to hear from you.
Referrals and signposting are especially welcome from GPs, social prescribers, safeguarding teams and anyone supporting women who have experienced adversity or domestic abuse.
You don’t have to have it all figured out to join us. You just have to be ready to take the first step.

#CassandraCentre #CommunitySupport
This International Women’s Day at the Cassandra Centre 💗 we created space for honest, open conversations about women’s health and what a powerful day it was.
We were honoured to be joined by Dr Zoe Schaedel, NHS GP and British Menopause Society Specialist, alongside Suzelle Hortense, whose holistic approach to movement empowers women to build strength, confidence and deeper body awareness.
Together, we shared meaningful discussions around perimenopause, wellbeing, and the importance of feeling informed, supported, and heard all while enjoying out time together. The space was filled with connection, understanding, and sisterhood. 🌟
Understanding our bodies is power. Women’s health matters. No woman should have to navigate change alone. 💗🫂
Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared their stories, and helped create such a supportive and uplifting space 💛 #InternationalWomensDay #cassandracentre #Perimenopause #Community #Support
Our Lunch Club had the most amazing time at Hampton Court!
With beautiful historic surroundings and great company, it was a day of laughter and lovely memories.
Going out, staying active, spending time with friends and staying active is important at every stage of life. Whether it’s a stroll or simply soaking up the scenery, these moments matter ❤️
To more adventures! 🎉

Testimonials
Words cannot express how very grateful I am for all your love, help & support!
As you know 2 years ago I fled DV, I was lost, scared & had no clue how I would survive. The help from you and all of the Cassandra Centre made me realise I AM STRONG and can heal after 15 years of abuse.
By providing me with weekly therapy for almost 2 years, gave me strength, made me believe in myself and gave me so much hope for my future!
I love you guys and will continue to fund raise as much as possible!
