Love this way of networking - @ChangePlease make a #SocialEnterpriseShoutOut every week 👏 – at Hackney, London
Our #SocialEnterpriseShoutOut is @BridesDoGood. Brides do Good is a wedding dress shop, created by women, where up to two thirds of the proceeds go towards supporting humanitarian programmes that empower and educate girls at risk of child marriage.

This is not about our faiths. It’s about our rights: the right to choose, and to say no.

We cannot have a law that silently supports this.
