There are two children in the forefront colouring in at a table full of crafty things. They are brown-skinned girls aged 7 or so with dark hair and glasses. In the background you can see a brick and glass building and three adults talking.

An old black and white photograph of a group of around 30 women. They are smiling and laughing. From their clothes and expressions, they look like they are on a fun day out.

A photograph of three women sitting at a table indoors. One of them is older with grey hair; she is pouring tea from a pretty teapot. The other two have their backs too us but appear to be eating biscuits.

A row of nine women standing outside a brick and glass building. They are smiling at the camera. They are a wide range of ages and ethnicities, and dressed casually.
