Women's support group
Held at our Althorpe Street centre between 12.30 and 2.30pm every Wednesday, the women's support group offers a warm and welcoming place for women to gather.
Led by a qualified women’s support worker, supported by volunteers, the project offers company, comfort and practical help to women facing issues such as addiction, domestic abuse or homelessness.
It provides a safe space in which women from all backgrounds can talk, share and rest in an atmosphere of total trust and no pressure.
The project is about connection and cultivating a sense of belonging. All the women that join us are welcomed into our community and become a valued part of it. That sense of community brings collective strength and purpose, and we all share in the joy when an individual turns their life around.
- Meetings often welcome a guest speaker or involve a trip out somewhere. Sometimes the emphasis is on education, sometimes it’s just about fun. Either way, the women's support group is never dull!
- “A hand up, not a hand out,” is the ethos that underpins Helping Hands and that is absolutely the case with women's support group. Every woman that comes to us has skills and attributes – we love to rekindle and nurture those skills and attributes. We provide opportunities for training and to get involved in activities and learn new skills.
