This society interview is featuring Edge Hill’s Survivors Society, which is a very incredible society to help those who have been affected in our Edge Hill community.
It can be easy to feel like you’re alone in times of crisis. This society aims to offer a safe environment and community for women who have survived sexual assault, abuse or harassment.
Meetings take place on Wednesdays at 6.30pm, the place has yet to be decided, but will be advertised on the Student’s Union website once it is finalised.
The society offers an open door policy for all university students, with no fees to join and vast amounts of support from those who have been through similar events. A student ID is required, and you must be a survivor to join.
They hold many fun sessions including craft sessions (materials supplied), and fundraising events such as bake sales and open mic nights.
It is important to note that the society is a female only society, and is not a replacement for any professional help/support you may need, but a communal support system. They are happy to aid you in finding any professional help you may require.
They will be running a stall at this year’s Freshers Fair on Wednesday 29th, so make sure to stop by and say hello if you are interested in joining.
Any questions, make sure to email the Survivor’s Society committee on survivorsocietyehu@thequack2020
