Who We Are

Who We Are


We are a group of women with varied backgrounds, experiences and skills that we want to share with other women and girls. We believe there is a need for women to have somewhere they can go to not only get support but to support others to understand and overcome the affects abuse can have on them. Our aim is to inspire well-being and ignite self worth into every women’s life. Every women matters and every women deserves to be valued.

What We Do

We provide a safe and friendly space, through our groups and workshops, for females to meet, learn and support each other. Our work is about encouraging young girls and women to be kind to each other. To lift up and not knock down. To compliment not criticise. To empower and not dis-empower.

Our free workshops are available to all females. There are limited spaces as we want to keep the groups small enough as to not intimidate and so each person attending has a voice. Workshops will run throughout the year so there will always be an opportunity to attend. We run workshops for women and girls on subjects such as understanding the effects of abusive and controlling relationships, self esteem and self worth. We will also be running other workshops such as well-being art and crafting.


Brief History

We have been established since 1991. It all began with a small group of women who provided a helpline for victims of domestic abuse to call for advice. From there we were able to prove the need for there to be a women’s refuge in Waveney. After a number of years, due to restricted housing, the need for the refuge to have a move on house was apparent and again we were successful in providing this additional service. In 2010 we moved away from providing refuge to victims and redirected our focus towards support, advise, training and educating.
