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.

I liked coming to the freedom programme because I knew I wasn’t alone and everyone wouldn’t judge me. I have learnt a lot and wish I could have learned this when I was at secondary school because then I would have known.

The Change Programme has given me an understanding of life, relationships, the world, myself and empowerment. I felt heard and not judged, and also felt a deep self-realisation and knowledge of self

I can’t thank Women’s Work enough for their kindness help and guidance which has enabled me to help women within the community. Just seeing the positive impact Women’s Work makes on service users has made me so proud to be part of the volunteer team. Thank you Women’s Work for all that you do for women and thank you so much for letting me be part of that.

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.
