Educational Programme
The charity designed and developed a
structured 8 week online programme,
“Breaking Up with Patriarchy”. This
programme will be delivered from January
2026, in a beta format. The programme
aims to advance education in equality and
diversity by:

increasing awareness of gender| |discrimination and its systemic nature| |---| |
supporting participants to recognise and| |challenge internalised norms| |
encouraging informed and conscious| |decision-making in personal and| |professional contexts| |Public Engagement and Community| |Learning| |The charity delivered a programme of free,| |monthly online events known as ‘Saturday| |Salon’, open to the general public. These| |sessions provided accessible, facilitated| |spaces for discussion and learning on| |topics related to gender equality, including:| |
self-acceptance and identity| |
balance between societal expectations| |and individual wellbeing| |
the value of relational and community-| |based approaches to change| |These events supported the charity’s| |objects by:| |
advancing education through informal,| |discussion-based learning| |
promoting attitudes and practices| |supportive of equality| |
creating inclusive spaces where diverse| |perspectives could be shared and| |explored| |Awareness Raising and Communications| |Radical Positivity produced and distributed| |a monthly newsletter and related online| |content to raise awareness of gender| |inequality and its impacts. This included:| |
educational articles and reflections on| |gender norms and equality| |
dissemination of ideas and frameworks| |supporting more equitable ways of| |living and working| |
“Shine a Light” features highlighting| |individuals and initiatives contributing to| |gender equality and issues impacting| |women| |These communications contributed to| |public understanding of gender| |discrimination and supported the cultivation| |of attitudes in favour of equality.| |Community Development and Participation| |Across all activities, the charity has| |prioritised the creation of safe, inclusive,| |and participatory environments in which| |women can engage with issues of equality| |and diversity. Feedback indicates that| |these spaces support increased| |confidence, awareness, and engagement| |with gender equality issues.| |||The charity’s activities are open and
accessible to the public, with particular
relevance to women seeking to better
understand and navigate the impact of
gendered societal structures.
Through these combined activities, Radical
Positivity has contributed to advancing
education, raising awareness, and
promoting cultural and behavioural change
in support of greater gender equality, in line
with its charitable purposes.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming

During the year, Radical Positivity has
made meaningful progress in advancing its
charitable objectives through education,
awareness-raising, and community
engagement.
Impact on Beneficiaries
Participants across the charity’s
programmes and activities have reported
increased:

awareness of gender inequality and
how it operates in everyday life

confidence in identifying and
questioning limiting social norms

self-trust and clarity in personal
decision-making

ability to establish and maintain healthy
boundaries

sense of connection and belonging
through shared experience
Through facilitated discussions, reflective
exercises, and community participation,
beneficiaries have been supported to better
understand the impact of gendered
expectations on their lives and to explore
more equitable and sustainable ways of
living and relating.
A consistent outcome has been the
reduction of isolation, with participants
recognising that many of their experiences
are widely shared rather than individual.
This has contributed to increased
confidence and a greater willingness to
engage in conversations about equality in
personal and professional contexts.
Community and Collective Impact
The charity’s Saturday Salon gatherings
have contributed to the development of an
engaged and growing community of women
who are actively reflecting on and
discussing issues of gender equality.
These sessions have:

created accessible entry points for
engagement with equality issues

encouraged diverse perspectives and
shared learning

supported the development of collective
awareness and dialogue
Wider Public Benefit
Beyond direct participants, the charity’s
communications and outreach activities| |have contributed to wider public awareness| |---| |of gender discrimination and equality.| |Through newsletters and online content,| |Radical Positivity has:| |
shared accessible educational material| |on gender equality| |
promoted attitudes and practices| |supportive of inclusion and diversity| |
highlighted positive role models and| |examples of change| |Contribution to Social Change| |While the charity’s work is primarily| |educational and reflective in nature, it| |contributes to broader social benefit by:| |
supporting individuals to recognise and| |challenge inequitable systems| |
encouraging behavioural and cultural| |change at an individual and community| |level| |
fostering environments where equality-| |focused dialogue can take place safely| |and constructively| |The trustees believe that these cumulative| |impacts; increased awareness,| |strengthened community, and small but| |meaningful behavioural shifts, contribute to| |the longer-term advancement of gender| |equality and the reduction of discrimination| |in society.| |Overall, the charity has demonstrated that| |creating accessible, reflective, and| |community-based spaces can support both| |individual empowerment and wider cultural| |change, in line with its charitable purposes.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |
