We aim to ensure that any woman (16 years and above) who might need help, no matter how big or small the problem, can come to our organisation knowing that she will be safe, listened to and supported to find the right solution for her.
We are always honest and non-judgemental about what we can do, so that whatever the circumstances or situation a woman might find herself in, we will always listen and try to help.
And, if we can’t help directly, then we will make sure she can find what she needs through our partners and contacts across the region.
We are an organisation run for women, with women, and by women.
We offer support with mental health and wellbeing (1-to-1 sessions and group sessions), employment guidance, 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.
