SUPPORTING WOMEN ACROSS LANCASHIRE
Lancashire Women are a leading charity, supporting an average of 5000 people each year in Lancashire to improve their lives and push through the barriers they face.
We offer support with employment support, mental health and wellbeing support (1 to 1 sessions and group sessions), money advice and energy advice. We also have a Justice & Safety team who work with women in the justice system or women who might face homelessness or domestic abuse.
We have five venues in Preston, Accrington, Blackpool, Burnley and Blackburn. We also offer virtual 1 to 1 support (via Phone/Whats App), group support and outreach support at venues including Chorley, Lancaster and Skelmersdale.
Help Us Keep Families Safe & Warm This Winter
From October 10th to 17th (12noon), every donation to us will be matched, giving us the opportunity to raise £20,000 to provide vital support for women and families across Lancashire.
This means that every £1 you donate turns into £2 towards our cause.
Why support the campaign?
Financial pressure is weighing heavily on families across the community, leading to anxiety and stress. Many families are stretched thin, juggling work, debt, and rising bills, and the toll on their mental and physical wellbeing is immense. It’s hard to focus on improving your mental health when you’re worried about how to put food on the table or keep the heat on at home.
Your support isn’t just about providing immediate relief; it’s about giving these women a chance to rebuild their lives. By addressing basic needs like food and essential supplies, Lancashire Women are creating a foundation for better mental and physical health, and ultimately, for a brighter future.
How can you help?
Your donation—no matter the size—will go twice as far during the campaign. By funding food and essential supplies, you’re doing more than meeting an immediate need; you’re helping to break the cycle of crisis. Your generosity ensures that no woman suffers hunger or deprivation, reducing the risk of crime or worsening circumstances.
SUPPORT US
We couldn’t do what we do without the support of our local community. Local people, companies and organisations play a vital role in ensuring that we can reach more women.
Meet new people, make a difference, learn new skills or rediscover old ones. Get involved and make a difference.
