Call out! Share Your Story – Memories for the Future

EVENT

We invite all who identify as women of Peckham - whether rooted here, raised here, or connected by memory and spirit - to co-create the next chapter of Memories for the Future.

Details

This event is currently open.

49 Staffordshire St, and Peckham Square

30 May, 25 June, 27 July, 9 August

Join us in recording your oral histories with a facilitator, where we’ll dive into the richness of your lived experiences and personal reflections. Together, we’ll explore the threads that weave our community:

Cuisine. Migration. Identity. Style. Faith. Architecture.

Your voice will become part of a growing digital archive to be launched in October 2025 on our website — a legacy of South London women, past and present, rooted in place and possibility.

These recorded stories will also have a physical home in our future building on Peckham Square, creating a tapestry of voices that reflect and reimagine the future of our neighbourhood whilst celebrating the significant contributions of the women of our community. 

This is more than a conversation. It’s a celebration, an honouring, and a reclaiming of space — for you and for generations to come.
