Funders and Partners This project was supported by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). Sue Bowers, Head of HLF London said: “Social housing, the Notting Hill Carnival, the National Trust and trade union rights are a part of our national life that are taken for granted but many people are unaware of whose legacy these things represent. HLF is happy to support this project that will raise awareness of the four remarkable women, all connected in some way with the West London area, whose lives and work contributed to these wide ranging achievements.” Reena Mukherji, Director of the Octavia Foundation said: “Hidden Herstories has given 20 local young people the opportunity to hone their film-making and research skills by producing top quality documentary films an four women who have made an amazing contribution to our society. We are delighted that so many leading musicians, artists and public figures gave their time for interviews with the young film-makers. Through the screening tour, we hope that the inspirational lives of these four women will be shared by many people.” Research and Filming Many thanks to Mendez Media and Black Nine Films who provided us with filming equipment, training and production expertise throughout the project, and also thank you to our research and heritage partners:
