Women at the Well

Who we are

Women at the Well is a support service for women based in the King’s Cross area of central London.

We provide practical support and advocacy to women facing a wide range of disadvantages, and we have a specialism in working with women whose lives have been affected by prostitution and/or sexual exploitation.

Our drop-in centre near King’s Cross station is open from 12:30pm-3:30pm, Mon-Thurs, to any woman who needs it (without appointment) and offers food, hot showers, laundry, clean clothes and gentle activities. We also offer appointment-based one-to-one support and advocacy to women who are ready for that journey. We also go out to meet women in other parts of London and can take referrals, though no referral is needed to engage with us.

We are independent and protect our ability to speak up for the rights of women. We challenge the systemic inequalities faced by women, and call for radical change so that all women can achieve their full potential and live life free from discrimination, abuse and neglect.
