STOCKPORT SIRENS
Storytelling Through Rhythm & Rhyme
A new, FREE 6-month programme from ITSHER for women across the Stockport Borough. This is a space to explore poetry,journaling,performance and music in whatever
way feels right for you. There’s no expectation to perform, speak up, or be good at anything. You can write quietly. You can listen. You can go at your own pace.
We especially want to reach young women aged 18–26 who are NEET or
neurodivergent. If busy rooms, small talk, or new places usually feel like a lot
we’ve thought about that. Sessions are structured, predictable, and led by a team
who understand what it’s like to find typical social settings difficult.
You will never be put on the spot.
This programme is open to every woman in Stockport, aged 18
to 70. No experience is needed.

6 face-to-face workshops
