What a fantastic International Women’s Day in Eastbourne.

Our Living Library created powerful conversations throughout the day, with visitors sitting down to talk with some truly inspirational women from our community.

People connected, shared experiences and in some cases were signposted to organisations able to offer support and advice.

There was also plenty of creativity, with adults and children making beautiful flowers and bead bracelets.

One of the highlights was our Give to Gain image gallery, capturing gestures of generosity and community spirit.

We already have some wonderful photographs — and we’d love to add more.

You can still take part here:

Simply take a photo showing your gesture of giving and upload it to the gallery.

A huge thank you to:

• Our incredible Living Library participants
• Everyone who came along and took part
• Eastbourne Borough Council
• Mayor of Eastbourne, Councillor Margaret Bannister, for opening the event
• Eastbourne Unlimited, our Chamber of Commerce, for their support
• Gather at The Beacon, and Hend Moussa and the team, for hosting us so warmly

It was a wonderful celebration of International Women’s Day in Eastbourne.
