NOTTS500 Campaign
The Notts500 campaign is rooted in the belief that allyship, visibility, and collective action are critical to transforming the conditions that allow gender-based violence to persist.
By engaging men as advocates and upstanders, Juno aims to shift the narrative from awareness to responsibility.
Notts500 encourages men across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire to take an active stand against violence against women and girls (VAWG). While most men do not commit violence, women and girls continue to experience disproportionately high levels of abuse, making it vital for men to be part of the solution.
Through dedicated spaces for reflection, learning and discussion, Notts500 empowers men to become active allies, challenge harmful attitudes and behaviours, and help create lasting cultural change across our communities.

Upcoming Events
Join Us for the Notts500 Impact Report Launch!
Join us as we launch the Notts500 Impact Report and celebrate a growing movement of men across Nottinghamshire committed to preventing violence against women and girls.
Through powerful stories, key findings and reflections from participants, we’ll explore what we’ve learned, what needs to happen next, and how we can continue building a culture where women and girls can live free from violence, abuse and fear.
Want to find out more in a relaxed environment?
Join our next Notts500 Social, an informal event bringing together men who want to play a positive role in preventing violence against women and girls.
The Notts500 community is focused on learning, connection, and turning good intentions into meaningful action. These socials are a great entry point, whether you’re already engaged in this space or simply curious to learn more and connect with like-minded people.
Notts500 members get exclusive access to all of our events so what’re you waiting for? Sign up to join the movement today.
Project Funding
Juno Women’s Aid is proud to announce it has received a £9,995 grant from the Rosa – Voices from the Frontline fund to support the development and delivery of its pioneering Notts500 campaign.
This funding will enable Juno to galvanise support from 500 men across Nottinghamshire, calling on them to publicly stand against violence against women and girls (VAWG) and become visible allies in ending gender-based violence.
The funding will enable Juno to activate three strategic pillars:
- Host three roundtable events with male allies, community leaders, and sector stakeholders to drive dialogue, accountability, and culture change.
- Deliver a powerful social media campaign to build momentum, raise awareness, and spotlight the voices of women and girls affected by male violence.
- Commission a professionally produced video to amplify campaign messages, reach wider audiences, and inspire tangible action.
Juno Women’s Aid is delighted to announce it has secured £7,500 from Nottingham City Council’s Community Cohesion and Hate Crime Grant to deliver the next phase of the Notts500 programme.
Building on the success of the programme’s first year, this funding will enable Juno to continue engaging men across Nottingham in preventing violence against women and girls (VAWG), while exploring the intersection of racism and misogyny to strengthen community cohesion and challenge harmful attitudes.
The funding will enable Juno to:
Deliver two facilitated roundtable events exploring the intersection of racism and misogyny and their impact on women and girls.
Host two informal social engagement events to strengthen relationships, encourage new participation, and grow the Notts500 network.
Equip men with the confidence and practical tools to challenge misogyny, prejudice, and discrimination within their workplaces, communities, and social circles.
This next phase will continue to build a network of informed, active male allies committed to creating safer, more respectful communities across Nottingham.
