nights, feminist workshops, and much more. Profits from Ladyfest
were kindly donated to Bristol Fawcett.

University of the West of England - Bristol Institute of Technology
In 2007-08, a team of Information Systems students from the University

in much improved communications both internally (our closed e-group)
and externally (this website!) This project has been of immense
benefit to Bristol Fawcett and has enabled us to improve our efficiency
as well as our reach.
