Health and Wellbeing provision

Our Health and wellbeing provision takes a holistic approach and aims to meet a broad spectrum of needs. Through a range of social group activities and one to one support sessions, we aim to improve the overall physical and mental wellbeing of women.

We take a person-centred approach and provide additional support to the more vulnerable women in our community, including women with additional learning difficulties and women struggling with mental health challenges.

Many women accessing our wellbeing activities develop the self-confidence they need to be able to access other opportunities including Education, Training and Employment.

It is an open, friendly and relaxed centre. There is a good supportive community spirit. Its somewhere to go sometimes i need a break from the house and work so i come here to relax.
