Saheli Women’s Group is working on a project, funded by the Near Neighbours fund, to explore how the government’s public spending cuts are affecting the lives of women & communities in Sparkbrook.

They are looking to work with women from all Faiths who share their concern about the forthcoming changes and who have enthusiasm for their local communities. As a peer researcher, they will be a central part of the project and help to capture personal testimonies from people who are living through unprecedented cuts to public spending and services by:

• Taking part in interactive workshops to examine what people are saying and what is happening locally. 
• Taking part in independent validated Research. 
• Conducting short interviews with people.
• Taking photographs of life in your local area.
