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

27 June, 25 July, September

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.
