Story

It's nearly that time of year again - when I don my swimsuit and hop in my freezing cold sea to raise money for Power of Women (POW) Thanet. 🥶

On 8th March (International Women's Day), I'll be joining other folks in my local area to support POW, and I would be so grateful if you would sponsor me. It's POW's 10th anniversary, so you could consider donating £10 for 10 years 🤓

POW is a feminist arts charity in Thanet with whom I have been a proud board member since 2021. Each year, POW delivers community programming designed to uplift gender equality in the region, and mounts a hugely joyous and diverse festival to celebrate International Women's Day on 8th March. You can find out more about POW here and if you live in the area, do come to one or all of our events!

Hailing from the vibrant landscapes of Thanet, Kent, the Power of Women stands as a beacon of artistic expression, fervently championing the cause of equality. In a world still marked by gender disparities, we navigate the multifaceted realm of feminism, creating a haven where diverse perspectives are heard, understood, and celebrated. Each March, the shores of Thanet come alive with the POW Annual Festival, a tribute to International Women's Day and a celebration of the boundless creativity of women and non-binary individuals. Spanning workshops, exhibitions, performances, and more, the festival welcomes both in-person and virtual attendees, from local enthusiasts to global art aficionados. Beyond the festival, we're passionate about intertwining the arts with the fabric of our community. Our engagement initiatives run year-round, sparking inspiration and broadening horizons. We foster collaborations between artists and local institutions, amplifying the reach of our public arts endeavours. POW's legacy traces back to 2015, conceptualised by arts maven Christina Clark-McQuaid. The baton of creativity was further carried by theatre luminary Jan Ryan, serving as the Artistic Director till 2020. Today, the dynamic trio of CEO Rosanagh, Artistic Director Amy Redmond and communications Director Alex Menace, backed by a cadre of talents, helms our mission.
