White Ribbon Day 2024

25th November 2024 @ 3:30 pm - 4:15 pm

FREE
Visit the White Ribbon Day website

In the Middle Ages, Newcastle Cathedral’s Lantern Tower was a guiding light for ships navigating the River Tyne. Today, through our Lantern Initiative, we aim to be a beacon of belonging for people navigating dark or difficult circumstances in life.

The Lantern Initiative invites you to join us for a special service of remembrance and commitment to ending violence against women. Through shared stories, poems, and prayers, we will honour those who have lost their lives from gender-based violence. Together, we will show solidarity by placing white ribbons as a public pledge never to commit, condone or remain silent about abuse, harassment or violence toward women.

The service will take place in the Cathedral Quire, with refreshments provided before and after. During your visit, stop by the Chapel of the Resurrection, where a temporary installation by the Newcastle Diocese Mothers Union marks the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.

If you have any questions about this event, please contact Laurie Crow, Newcastle Cathedral’s Lantern Initiative Lead.
