Stand with us - Saturday 7 February! ✊

We’re excited to be at Preston’s One Billion Rising a free, inclusive event where people come together to stand, sing and dance to demand an end to violence against women and girls 🌍💜.

The "Break the Chain" dance will be happening 12–2pm in the University of Lancashire Students’ Union Atrium (and you don’t even have to dance if you’d rather clap, support and be part of the moment).

This global movement highlights the staggering reality that one in three women and girls will experience violence in her lifetime, and we rise together to say NO MORE.

Find Hope Prevails Preston at our stall, join the Rising and help us push for change - your voice matters!

Abuse isn’t always visible.
And it doesn’t need to be physical to be harmful.

Many people experiencing coercive control don’t recognise it as abuse especially when it’s subtle, gradual or wrapped up as “care”.

If you’re questioning what’s happening, that’s important.
You don’t have to wait for things to get worse to reach out.

Thank you for inviting us. The turnout was fantastic and such an inspiring course.

26/01/2026

We will be attending One Billion Rising 2026, hosted University of Lancashire.

One Billion Rising is a global call to action against violence towards women and girls. It is about visibility, solidarity and collective resistance to abuse, exploitation and harm.

For us, this aligns directly with our purpose in Preston:
• challenging violence against women and girls
• naming abuse clearly
• standing with survivors
• creating cultural and community change

We believe that ending violence requires more than policy.
It requires people, communities and institutions standing up together.

We are proud to be part of this moment.
