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.

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

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

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.

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.
