The survivor network helping women thrive.

Founded in 2021 by a group of survivors, CREW is a network and community of support and strength, enabling survivors to continue to build a sense of hope and purpose whilst on our programmes and for as long as they want to after they’ve graduated.  

Described by our CREW Coordinator as ‘the voice of confidence in survivors’ heads, the helping hand when they need it’, CREW runs online workshops, inspiring panel discussions , and in-person gatherings throughout the year.

I loved getting to meet the CREW members in person, the refreshment, and the opportunity to get to meet the CEO of Sophie Hayes and other participants, as well as partners of the program. I wish we could stay longer; I didn’t want it to end. I had a fun-filled day and am looking forward to the next event as well!

PAST EVENTS

Group of people standing outdoors on grass, each holding a Christmas wreath in front of their faces, with trees in the background.

In December, we hosted a holiday wreath-making workshop with our partners at Strength and Stem!

Multiple hands, including a dark-skinned hand with rings, a light-skinned hand, and another light-skinned hand with rings, placed together on a light blue surface.

CREW attended a Metal Masterclass at Liverpool Hope University and learned how to form and roll-print rings!

in 2022, CREW created 3 regional Freedom Quilts in collaboration with Liberty Fabrics and the International Slavery Museum Liverpool.

Past Online Workshops have included sessions on creative writing, project management, public speaking, and starting your own business!
