About this Event

Improving Me is delighted to welcome back Dr Liz Hind from the Women’s Budget Group (WBG)to deliver the Local Data Project. This highly interactive and bespoke workshop will mark Baby Week 2025. Baby Week Cheshire and Merseyside is an annual campaign which builds on the first Baby Week in England in 1917. Despite its title the campaign is fundamentally about women’s health and closing the gender health gap, by building equality more generally across sectors.


This day long workshop is being hosted by Improving Me’s Baby Week partner, Liverpool Central Library, with whom Improving Me regularly collaborates to deliver activity to reduce digital poverty and increase digital content that reflects women and girl’s lives. The library service will also be hosting a number of other Baby Week activities designed to promote knowledge and understanding. This activity includes an exhibition , live performances and networking events, photo shoots and lots of opportunity to get reading.

Baby Week in effect is the story of women who wanted to improve health and wellbeing through the promotion of health literacy, by establishing public health measures to protect women and children and by developing access to specialist healthcare for women and babies. These women pioneers mobilised the country and laid the foundations for the future NHS as the First World War raged. However, Baby Week as with many movements and achievements led by women was simply left out of the history books until Professor Linda Bryder undertook extensive research to commemorate the WW1 centenary.

Improving Me is the NHS women’s health and maternity programme for Cheshire and Merseyside. The UK Women's Budget Group (WBG) is a feminist think tank that promotes a gender-equal economy by providing evidence-based policy recommendations and fostering links between academics, women's organizations, and social policy experts.
