Committed to supporting vulnerable women and their families
Leaving a gift to us in your will is a promise to be there for the women and children cross Derbyshire who are suffering from stress, abuse or victimisation.
Making a Will is something that is private and important for everyone, it makes sure that your wishes will be reflected in what happens after you die. No matter what size of gift you leave it will change lives, it will help our work live on and will offer support to those in need.

I have been given so many new opportunities since I have been at Women’s Work. My eyes have been opened!
Empowered Women
I joined because I have always volunteered in one way or another and given my time, but I always wanted to do something that was personal to me. If facilities like Women’s Work had been available when I was growing up that could have helped my mum, I would have had a better childhood. It makes me happy giving back to the service users and helping them feel empowered, even if its something small that does so.
Jeanette – Volunteer
After doing Healthy relationships, I have better knowledge about abusive relationships and can now recognise the red warning flags in the early stages. I have learnt to love myself, and will not allow anyone to control or abuse me anymore
Member – Healthy Relationships
With it being such a hard time and it being in a new environment for both me and the kids. I was so happy and relieved with the contact centres warmth towards us. Making a potentially difficult situation simply amazing!
Contact Centre User – LinkWork Contact Centre
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.
Member – The Turn Around
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
