The Gathering- a creative celebration of our collective power

We have stood together through a difficult year and achieved amazing things. Together we are more POWERFUL than we realise.

We have stepped in and met the urgent needs of over 8,000 vulnerable young people across our community.

We have protected 200 at-risk girls from grave harm, and the safety of hundreds more.

We have brought together over 1,000 advocates to shape an agenda that leaves no one behind.

Join us to celebrate our collective power to build a world where everyone can realise their full potential.

Here’s how you can get involved:

1. Get your hands on one of our Power Packs. These packs contain paints and a postcard for you to cover with your images, quotes and inspiration on the theme “Our Collective Power.”
2. Come along to one of our Power Painting Parties and design your postcard online with other members of the Irise community.
3. Post your postcard back to us. We will assemble them into one exhibition, celebrating our diverse and disruptive power.
4. Join The Gathering online event. We will launch this incredible exhibition online and award some exciting prizes to your favourite postcards. These lovely entries will be made into T-shirts and bags in 2021 so you can share near and far.
5. Keep an eye on the post. Everyone who takes part will receive someone else’s postcard. Put it on your wall to remind yourself that we are POWERFUL.

If you’re based outside of the UK you can still take part. Design your own 4×6 inch postcard and email us a photo to [email protected] making “Power Postcard” the subject of the email.
