Subscribe to Our Newsletter

Occasional updates on our programmes, published research, funding progress and opportunities to take part. We write when there is something worth reading.

Our mailing list carries programme updates, new research and advocacy publications, vacancies and volunteer openings, and reporting on what our funding has achieved. It goes out occasionally rather than on a fixed schedule, because a newsletter published to meet a schedule tends to be a newsletter with nothing in it.

What you can expect

  • Programme updates from the Northwest and Southwest Regions.
  • New research, policy briefs and advocacy publications as they are released.
  • Annual reports and audited financial statements when published.
  • Vacancies, volunteer placements and internship openings.
  • Occasional appeals tied to a specific, costed need.

How we handle your address

  • We ask for an email address and nothing else.
  • We never sell or share your address, and never pass it to another organisation for marketing.
  • To unsubscribe, reply to any message or write to contact@womenslight.org, and you are removed straight away.
  • We keep a suppression record after you unsubscribe, solely so we do not contact you again by mistake.

Full detail is in our Privacy Policy. If you would rather follow the work without joining a list, our blog and news pages carry the same programme updates.

How often we write

Occasionally, and only when there is something worth sending. A mailing list published to meet a schedule becomes a list with nothing in it, and people stop opening it. Expect a message when a programme reaches a milestone, when a report or audited accounts are published, when vacancies or volunteer placements open, or when there is a specific, costed need we are asking for help with.

What we will not do

  • We will not sell, rent or share your address with any other organisation.
  • We will not use emotionally manipulative appeals or images that present people as helpless.
  • We will not email you about something we have not actually done.
  • We will not make unsubscribing difficult — reply to any message or write to contact@womenslight.org, and it takes effect immediately.

Following without subscribing

If you would rather not join a list, everything we send is also published here. The Blog carries evidence-based guidance, News carries announcements and programme milestones, Our Stories carries accounts of the work, and Publications lists our reports along with the schedule for those still to come.

Our founder also maintains a substantial public platform as VeryDarkWoman, where much of the Foundation's day-to-day work is shared as it happens.
