Henry Smith, Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Crawley, has spoken at the launch of the Rivers Resource Space for Women.

Henry said;

“I took some time out from the election campaign this morning, and I was honoured to speak at the launch of the Rivers Resource Space for Women at the Hawth.

“The initiative, which I was proud to support when Member of Parliament for Crawley, aims to provide security and confidence to isolated and vulnerable women.”

The organisation is part of Rivers Learning Project Community, a UK-based charity in Crawley, working to empower women in the local area. They provide training, awareness, learning support and new skills sessions.

The group in Crawley is both a facilitator and organiser of resources to benefit women who need support or guidance.

Space connects women with already established local public services, support, charities and commercial organisations and employers, and acts as a point of contact for women of all walks of life.

The Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner, Katy Bourne, donated £5,000 to the group from the Safer in Sussex Community Fund, which was established in 2013.
