Monies raised from the Lottery will be used to help fund our work. For example raising:

 

• £2,250 would enable the delivery of an Inspire Programme for up to 15 women which would equip them with the skills and techniques to support their confidence, self-esteem and wellbeing. As a result of this programme we typically see significant improvements in confidence and self-esteem leading to healthier functioning familial relationships and more women re-entering education.

​

• £4,900 would support 7 women in accessing 10 counselling sessions focusing on trauma. Whether that be due to domestic or sexual abuse, harmful practice etc. As a result of this intervention we typically see an improved positive outlook with an increased likelihood to seek out improved life chances.

​

• £10,000 would provide a contribution to the Lead Counsellor/Supervisor role for 3 months. This contribution would support 12 Clinical Practice Placements in gaining their 100 hours client contact with supervision, enabling them to achieve their level 4 counselling qualification whilst supporting up to 40 women with free counselling sessions.

 

Sign-up is safe and secure via Direct Debit - so you can support local women, be in with a chance of winning a cash prize every single week and receive exclusive thank you offers and discounts!
