Support to improve and maintain emotional and physical wellbeing, and working with other partner agencies for more specialist advice.
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 Move with Confidence, Calm Your Mind and Coffee & Craft.
For mothers, we hold a Family Support Group where mums can meet and chat to each other whilst their children play in a safe environment, as well as gain access to support if needed including for those who look after children with Special Educational Needs. We also host a weekly informal Drop In session where women can socialise with others and take part in different activities, peer mentors and project workers are on hand for advice where needed.

What our empowered women have to say...
One of the main reasons I chose to volunteer is to empower women to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. By volunteering, I not only contribute to the community but also experience personal growth and development, knowing that I am part of a supportive and collaborative environment that positively impacts the lives of others. I enjoy volunteering at Women’s Work because of the incredibly supportive and encouraging staff members and other volunteers that create a nurturing environment. Their constant presence and unwavering support make it a truly uplifting experience.

The Change programme has given me a more positive outlook on doing group activities. The topics were interesting and helped me to see my own views and the importance of them in life.
