The Young Women's Movement worked with 'Young Women Lead Fife' to create a handy toolkit to highlight the importance of safe spaces in communities.

Many of the ideas are easy to implement and encourage you to think about simple ways you can make your community space truly welcoming to all.  

Why not have a look through the work of these young women and see if any of their suggestions would help improve your community space.

Access the full toolkit here: YWL Fife (ywcascotland.org)
