Northampton Women's Centre
We create a safe place where women engage a variety of activities, support groups and give to access professional support in one place.
What we do
We create a safe place where women engage a variety of activities, support groups and give to access professional support in one place.
Service users have opportunities to learn and practice skills such as sewing and craft, gardening and healthy cooking. As well as life skills we run peer mentoring programmes that lead to volunteering opportunities and eventually employment.
It also provides a place to find holistic one-to-one support for issues from debt and domestic violence to homelessness and mental health. There are also hot desks for partners to work from, along with meeting spaces meaning that service users are able to meet their Wellbeing Coach, Probation Officer, Assistant Psychologist and other professionals all in one place.
