Doing these sessions has changed me completely. I deal with problems better and have alternatives to self-harm when I’m struggling. I’m a different person now.

I wanted to kill myself and I thought: ‘Why not go to the Women’s Centre?’ It was the best thing I ever did. My life has changed dramatically – from miserable to confident.

Why we need your support…

11,202 women visited to the Centre between April 2023 – March 2024, this was a 39% increase on the previous year. Over 900 women accessed our vital services including counselling, casework support and events.

Now is a critical moment for women in the UK. The cost-of-living crisis is hitting women hardest, with rising childcare costs, job insecurity, and the gender pay gap making financial independence even more difficult. Instances of violence against women have surged, yet funding for women’s safety remains under threat. At the same time, women’s healthcare—from menopause support to gynaecology waitlists—is still underfunded and overlooked.

The demand for Nottingham Women’s Centre services has never been greater, with increasing numbers of women in Nottinghamshire in need of our support. By supporting Nottingham Women’s Centre, you’ll help us fund crucial services: from crisis support to programmess that help women facing severe and multiple disadvantages gain skills, confidence, and independence.

By giving today, you’re investing in a future where women can thrive.
