General Support

At Women’s Work we recognise that mental and emotional health is as essential to well-being as good physical health. Along with our specific projects, we also offer more general support to the women who attend as part of our holistic, person-centred approach.

This support can come in various ways from counselling sessions to food parcels, we also have an extensive list of partner organisations who offer advice and support in more specialist areas such as finance and debt or housing issues.

We encourage women to attend our wellness sessions to improve their confidence and emotional well-being, and reduce social isolation, some of our current workshops include Yoga, Calm Your Mind, Creative Dance and Expressive Arts.

For mothers of preschool age children, we hold a coffee morning where mums can meet and chat to each other, gain access to support where needed and offer a safe place for their children to play whilst they do so. We also host a weekly Check In and Chat for our women, an informal drop in session where they can chat to other service users, peer mentors and project workers are on hand for advice where needed.

What our empowered women have to say...

At Women’s Work, I discovered the freedom programme. This has helped me to understand the behaviour of the dominator.

The Anger Management programme has given me new techniques to try and deal with my anger. The programme has great insight and gives you a chance to express yourself.

At the end of the programme I feel able to say 100% that there will be no future re- offending for me. I am now positively focussed, re-housed, I have successfully reduced my alcohol in-take.

After doing the Anger Management Programme, I recognise my triggers now and I can open up more and talk.

Women’s Work have completely changed my life. The support is just amazing and the staff really do their job well, but professional, yet never patronise us

Empowered Women

Nice staff and nice building and good sessions. I have been doing parenting sessions and I’ve found it to be good for my understanding. I have tried other parenting sessions at my local school but didn’t like the staff or how it was run. Good different here learned a lot about myself and kids. Thank you for everything
