Our Name
The inspiration for our name comes from the aspen tree, it’s one of the most widespread trees in the world, and it can take root in almost any climate, survive harsh conditions and grow better in a community of trees than on its own. The aspen tree reproduces through the roots which mean that a massive community of aspens could share the same roots and can last thousands of years. Our project is about sharing roots, living and enduring in a healthy community and surviving harsh conditions together.

6th February 2012 International Day of Zero Tolerance to FGM
The Foundation for Women’s Health Research and Development (FORWARD) is conducting a national survey on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) among young people in the UK in collaboration with the University of East London. FGM has started to receive some attention in the UK; however, the magnitude of the problem has not been adequately assessed due to the absence of comprehensive studies on prevalence. The aim of the national survey is to improve understanding of the nature, experiences, and attitudes of young people on FGM with a view to establishing the extent of the practice and perceptions of young people
If you are a young person aged 13-25 and FGM is a relevant issue your community please take part to the survey:
The survey can be accessed at the FORWARD website: http://www.forwarduk.org.uk/lip-service-survey By taking part in the survey you'll also stand a chance to win a £20 Amazon voucher.
