West Cheshire Community Inspirers

[West Cheshire Community Inspirers @WInspirers]

We are Community Inspirers, a group of individuals from different areas within Cheshire West and Chester trying to tackle social inequalities such as poverty and hardship and influence change across the borough. We use our own lived/living experiences to help try and make change.

As International Women’s Day is right around the corner, we wanted to raise some awareness of The Pink Tax!😳

The pink tax is essentially where items and products specifically marketed and advertised for women cost more. (Shocking I know!🥺) ~ Tyra💛

In honour of international women's day on Wednesday 8th March, our inspirers are dedicating our socials to women in poverty, sport and the gender divide for this week💛

Sneak peek behind the scenes…

We have been working really hard on tackling some of the stigma and challenging those stereotypes around people accessing support and what it feels like having to ask for help💚

@socialactioninf Love this!👏

[West Cheshire Community Inspirers @WInspirers]

True Co-Production = everyone is equal regardless of their role, people with lived experience are involved right from the beginning, from planning and designing all the the way to delivery, equal decision making rights.

It is NOT tickboxing!

[West Cheshire Community Inspirers @WInspirers]

@Rach_A_Rama @Racheewheels @BodyPositive1 Aww that’s great!! Thank you so much for letting us know. I definitely need to add that to the post, a few people have asked us about where to access free condoms and sexual health products so I have been wondering if there was anywhere that did them😊
