Street Level Women at Risk

BPW London invites you to an inspiring and eye-opening evening with two remarkable women who are creating change in our community.

Darlene, a dedicated advocate with Street Level Women at Risk (SLWAR), works tirelessly to support unhoused women in London.

She’ll be joined by Melissa, who brings her powerful lived experience and voice as both a survivor and member of the SLWAR advocacy group.

Together, they will share their personal journeys, the challenges faced by unhoused women, and the urgent actions needed from both community and government to address this crisis. Don’t miss this chance to listen, learn, and be part of the conversation for change.

• Melissa Currie is a single mother of a 14 yr old teenage daughter.
  She is a redseal tradeswoman with lived and living experience in addiction and homelessness.
  Melissa is a proud member of the SLWAR Women’s Advisory Group (WAG).
• Darlene Zaifman-Guslits is the proud mother of 5 and Bubbi of 4. She spent most of her life immersed in the worlds of business and property management, but at 52 reinvented herself and started working as the Housing Selection Worker at Street Level Women at Risk. This Reformed Capitalist has become a tireless advocate for an end to Homelessness.
