We exist to support women who are vulnerable, providing them and their children with opportunities to reach their full potential, and our aim is to enable them to move their lives forward by improving their mental health and wellbeing. To achieve this, we work with our partners in the community to challenge anything which degrades and diminishes some of the most marginalised members of society.
