WOMEN AND TEENAGE GIRLS MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING CHARITY

We provide services and support for women and teenage girls who are struggling with their mental health.

We provide free counselling, a befriending services for those in the community who are isolated, lonely or have little or no support from family or friends. We provide a number of support groups for women who experiencing anxiety and/or depression as well as a bereavement support group. Most of which are counsellor led but others are peer support groups.

We focus on improving women's mental health using a holistic model of what improves women's sense of wellbeing. We have a number of holistic Therapists, who charge for their services but at a much reduced price of £22 per hour. They can provide Massage, Thai Yoga, Head Massage, Hopi Candles, Facials, Reiki, Reflexology and many more. Just ring the centre to book an appointment (this is available to any women regardless of where you live. We provides opportunities for women to meet up, make friends and gain knowledge and experience of practical ways to feel good about yourself. We provide yoga, mindfulness sessions, breathwork activities etc.. As well as providing a place to come where you can access activities such as knitting, card making class, an art class and a mosaic making group or you can come along to our Coffee Afternoon every Thursday afternoon.

Why the community needs us
We run a Women's Centre that women and teenage girls can come to when they need a safe space were they can be themselves. We guarantee a warm welcome, a cup of tea and someone to talk with. We support women and teenage girls to be the best that they can.

Our impact on the community
Over 3000 local women and teenage girls use our services every year. We do not believe that access to good mental health support should be based on your ability to pay.Women tell us that:

"I was in such a bad state when I first come into the centre but I feel that I now have my life back".
"I am so grateful, for the counsellor who listened to me and helped me find hope again"
"I now feel that I can move forward... I am a better Mum and love spending time with my family again, Thank You".
