Hello everyone 👋🏼
In January 2023, I set up a Yorkshire dog walking group to promote getting outdoors, making new friendships and to provide a safe place for other women to meet, talk, offload and support one another outside of home. It has been wonderful🙌
We have decided to hike Snowden in aid of raising money for the Women’s Centre who work across Halifax and Huddersfield to support women and their families.
WomenCentre delivers services to women during periods of crisis in their lives including those experiencing acute and chronic mental health difficulties, those that have been in contact with the criminal justice system, women refugee and asylum seekers from often brutal regimes, those with drug and alcohol problems and victims of domestic violence and their children. The Centre's work is focused on holistic care and the safety of the woman and her family.
Why the community needs WomenCentre
WomenCentre has been providing support to over 110,000 of some of the most vulnerable women and their families across Calderdale and Kirklees for the past 30 years. They also work closely with a wide range of statutory and voluntary sector organisations on a wide range of agendas including Children's and Adult's Safeguarding and Community Safety.
Impact on the community
Women accessing their services routinely state that they feel safer, healthier and more confident as a direct result of the support offer to them. Many women go onto become volunteers, peer mentors or staff members because they want to give something back to the organisation.
What the donation can provide;
£5 a food parcel
£10 20 minutes safety planning advice
£30 one hours one-to-one support
It would be amazing to raise money for such an amazing local charity and give back to the community in aid of supporting other women whom the centre may be their only safe place for support.
Any donation is appreciated 🙌 Thanks again guys x
