Empowering Women

Make a change, make a difference

To celebrate International Women's Day 2017, Cambridgeshire Constabulary and The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner would like to invite you to a free event at Allia Future Business Centre, Peterborough.

Empowering Women is an opportunity for women to come together from all walks of life to celebrate their contribution to the local community, wherever they live and whatever they do.

From inspirational stories, to the latest advice on issues affecting women today, the event will be an opportunity to network, stay safe and support each other.
