From Wednesday 22nd November from 11 am to 5 pm onward WE ARE OPENING OUR DOORS - Hooray!

​

Using some of the funds you helped us raise in our July Crowdfunder, we are now opening the Lab every Wednesday.

​

Our Wednesday weekly opening will be known as Open House, launching on 22nd November, 11 am - 5 pm.


Whether it's jumping on our WIFI, looking for a different scene to complete a piece of work, maybe using our crafting tools for a project, or a cup of tea and a chit-chat, our doors are open.

 

For our night owls, we will be running a once-a-month late-night opening, Open House Late, from 11 am - to 8 pm; updates about the lates will be out closer to the time.

What Sarah Read Next with Uju Asika & Raising Boys Who Do Better

Raising Boys who Do Better is an invitation for parents of boys, parents of daughters, aunties, uncles, godmothers, godfathers, teachers, community leaders and anyone who cares about young males in their life to ask; how we can raise boys who are empowered to stand up for what is right?

 

As well as her own anecdotal experiences, Uju Asika who is a parent of boys herself, explores confronting toxic masculinity. She delves into the hot-button issues affecting boys today- from education to sexism to power and consent. Raising Boys Who Do Better looks at bringing up boys in the era of #MeToo and Black Lives Matter.

 

Join Sarah Gwoyoma from What Sarah Read Next to dig deep into this amazing guide, ask questions and share thoughts.
