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

After Healthy Emotions, I am able to look at things more positively and feel I will make better choices in the future.
Empowered Women
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.

Thank you to Gemma and all staff for making me feel welcome. I felt very anxious at the start but now I have finished I feel like I want to keep coming back. It’s a safe place for me to learn and grow and I enjoy all of the sessions that are there. The staff are lovely, and kind and caring and all show support to you. It doesn’t matter what you are there for because everyone is together working through it all.
