Supporting Women Across Lancashire

Our History: LW was established in 1985 in Blackburn by a group of women who were concerned by the high child mortality rates and the poor maternal health outcomes for women in the city.  A house was bought by the group and set up as Lancashire Women’s Centre. 

Over the next 30 years LW continued to develop and grow its work and support for women to what it is today, celebrating our 40th birthday in 2025. 

What We Do:

We offer a whole person approach to supporting women which is trauma informed and can be accessed directly by women themselves and / or through a referral: 

We can help with : 

• Mental health issues and general health and well-being 
• Money Advice / Debt and wider welfare support issues 
• Getting into employment with coaching, skills development and confidence building 
• We also work in the prevention and rehabilitation of women connected to the criminal justice system with expertise in addressing multiple and complex unmet needs of women who have been moved from pillar to post across services and agencies.
