We’re excited to announce that some of our staff team are running the Leeds 10K on Sunday 15th June to raise money for Women’s Health Matters, supporting groups where funding has ended but the work is too vital for it to stop.

We champion freedom for disadvantaged women and girls so they may have a fair chance at a better life. These women are most at risk, including those experiencing domestic violence, sexual and emotional abuse, those with children in care or at risk of being removed, young mums, women seeking asylum, women with learning difficulties, and women with complex needs or mental health and wellbeing needs. We take a woman-centred holistic approach, creating a safe, nurturing environment to help women recover their confidence, explore their own needs and regain control over their lives. For more information about the vital support we provide, please see our website: www.womenshealthmatters.org.uk.

From our 2024 snapshot survey, over 95% of women we work with intensively have improved wellbeing, increased self-confidence and feel more empowered to make their own choices. 99% agree that they can leave or feel able to leave an abusive relationship if they wanted following support. 95% of those we help say we provided support unavailable elsewhere.  

As we take on this challenge, we’re asking for your support to help us continue to run our vital support groups where funding has ended, Inside Out and Rosebuds, which support women whose children are now living elsewhere - post removals. Every contribution counts!

£6 - A bus ticket for a woman to attend group for vital health & wellbeing support.

£20 - To help support a woman in crisis find safe overnight accommodation.

£50 - Venue hire for a 3 hour group, supporting up to 20 women.

Thank you for your generosity and support!
