My Sisters' House Women's Centre

Embedded in the Bognor Regis community, My Sisters' House CIC Women's Centre works across the coastal area of West Sussex. We provide a range of support to women from all backgrounds facing all kinds of issues where their strengths are recognised, their difficulties acknowledged and where they can achieve positive change they are proud of.

We do this in a women-centred, trauma-informed way which treats each woman as an individual. We offer the support of specialist staff with knowledge and experience in the fields of domestic abuse, employment support and training, and benefit applications and other financial appeals. We help by providing one-to-one keyworking, peer groups, courses in building confidence and skills, and dealing with anxiety, and we offer counselling to those who need it. We run a course for mothers and children to help them recognise and overcome the lasting effects of domestic abuse. We give out foodbank vouchers, clothing vouchers and bags of toiletries.

We can significantly improve the well-being of vulnerable women, and in doing so help them achieve long-term changes in their lives. The services offer women the key tools they need to begin to make changes and a feeling of being more in control of their lives, supportive relationships, a sense that their lives have meaning, and hope for the future.

We began our journey in 2014 round a kitchen table , opening our first drop in in May 2015. To date we have provided support to over 1300 women. From a pilot to a thriving safe space for women we have worked incredibly hard to build our service and develop into a vital community asset.
