The project was created to make spaces in which women and non-binary people can share their experiences of illness, wellness, difficult times, and resilience.
One of these spaces is our online scrapbook, which you can check out here 👉 healthandresilience.co.uk/sc…

Whatever your preferred method of expression, we’re open for submissions👉 healthandresilience.co.uk/su…
