Women's Workshop
Women's Workshop is run by women for women, and supports all women. We offer a range of practical and emotional support. We offer peer support, counselling and at times are able to offer small grants. We support women facing challenges such as family poverty, isolation, mental health, sexual violence and abuse, or discrimination. We have a range of small group activities and projects. We also have our welcoming Workshop space open every Monday 11-2 for activities and support, in Amble with refeshments. Wednesdays 11-2 we have an environmental drop in.
