We are a small charity who help women at the most vulnerable times of their lives. Our staff and volunteers go above and beyond to provide as much support as humanly possible. By doing this the knock on effect is massive as it not only supports and empowers the women themselves it also provides the much needed support to the family/children/ffriends who by defult are affected by this situation. Our aims are to empower women to help them to be more independen thus having a positive impact on themselves and their freinds and family. We do this by helping to improve their mental health & wellbeing (the vulnerable women in our society). We facilitate personal development, aim to reduce isolation, support women facing Domestic Violence/abuse and help to reduce financial inequalities. We do this through counselling, therapies, support groups, courses and workshops, debt/benefit/housing support and legal support..
Why the community needs usWomen are able to receive support in a friendly, relaxed and non-judgemental environment. Our predominantly female-only environment means that even the most vulnerable of our service users can feel safe and comfortable. Our holistic approach to support means that women can access multiple services and activities under the same roof if their situation requires this.
Our impact on the communityWe support 500+ women in the average year to work through issues such as domestic violence, depression, anxiety, low confidence, financial problems and isolation. We wrok with other agencies by either taking or making referrals for example; Womens Aid, Police, Derby City Council, Refuge, Adult Social Services and many others. We do this so we can try to provide a full wrap around service to the vulnerable women who access our services
