Our Work
Befriending
Our dedicated volunteer befrienders provide weekly one-to-one encouragement to help isolated women stay connected with their community and support LBTQ+ women become empowered to live the life they want.
Advice
We offer one-to-one advice by appointment, over the phone or online, with trained Advice Workers who speak Arabic, Kurdish, Farsi, Turkish and English.
Exercise Classes
We recognise the importance of physical exercise and run weekly Zumba classes, with some yoga influences, in English with Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew translations if needed. It is especially tailored to women who have experienced gender-based discrimination and/or violence.
Mindfulness and Meditation Classes
We provide Mindfulness, Breathe work and Meditation classes, open to all women from all backgrounds, in English with Arabic and Farsi translations if needed.
Art Therapy
We understand that for some women talking about their issues is too difficult, so we offer Art Therapy classes as a way for them to creatively express their emotions.
Social Clubs
Our Social Clubs have now been moved online and allow women to have their say in what they want to do, such as cooking or art and crafts. It's a chance for them to take a leading role in shaping what activities they do as a group.
Help for Children in Need
We offer some financial support to mothers of children living in poverty through helping them buy Christmas gifts and paying for the children to have special days out.
