Composer and producer Anna Meredith. Tampon Tax community funding. Veteran servicewomen.

Composer and producer Anna Meredith – number 31 on our Power List 2018. How the Tampon Tax Community Fund could help your group. And two veteran servicewomen tell their story.

We meet Anna Meredith – Number 31 on the Woman’s Hour Power List 2018 and the composer of ‘majestic bangers’.  Anna’s work brings electronic and classical music together and in to the mainstream, so it’s little wonder she caught the judges attention, for being a ‘brilliant and inspiring example’ for young women.

If you belong to a not-for-profit organisation and work in the community and think a grant of up to £10,000 might be helpful, then why not find out if you're eligible for money from  the Tampon Tax Community Fund . We hear how to apply  for the latest tranche of funding ahead of Friday's deadline for applications.
   
Eating disorders globally and the damage that the stereotypes that they are ‘a white woman’s problem’, or ‘due to the pursuit of western beauty ideals’,  as featured in The Food Chain on the  World Service.
 
And Tina talks to Pat Davies and Maurillia Simpson, two veteran servicewomen spanning generations of conflict, from the Word War II to Iraq. They discuss their very different experiences and how their paths crossed -- the multi-arts production “Journey Through Conflict”.
