Nikkis backflip challenge

Date TBC

Nikki Rummer, educational assistant at Tender is backflipping 100 times through Camden to raise

• Awareness about domestic violence
• Funds for Tenders' vital work with (young people)

Last year, Nikki undertook a similar challenge, cartwheeling four and a half miles through London towards the same end. In 2006 Nikkis efforts raised £1500 for Tender's work contributing towards the organisations vital work in preventing domestic violence against women and young people.

I find it astonishing and heartbreaking that in the year 2005 we still need to campaign to prevent the violent abuse of women by some men. If the No Slap Just Tickle gig and the publicity it receives can change the attitudes of just one abusive man then we will all have spent our time and money well and wisely.

No nation is free of chauvinistic, violent men, and that is why we have to face up to them, it's about getting real and facing reality. No woman should need to run for refuge, this is terrorism, these are hate crimes. If the 'system' can't deal with these crimes against humanity, we have to change the 'system'. This should not been seen as revolutionary, this is just about caring for our neighbours, it's a community thing

We are continually developing
new events, projects and programmes
to challenge attitudes towards violence
and abuse. The following are just
three of our main areas of work:

an education project for young people ages 13 - 18

Tender aims to educate.  Our work strives to raise awareness about all forms of gender violence affecting women across the world.  In order to promote a culture in which such violence is not tolerated or accepted, we aim to provide men, women and young people with the skills they need to speak out against the most common abuses in the UK. 

We do this through the performing and creative arts.  Tender aims to engage, to challenge, to entertain and to provoke a fundamental reassessment of our tolerance to abuse.
