Our Plan
We exist to provide support, information, guidance and safe accommodation for women and children who have suffered from or are exposed to Gender Based Violence.
We passionately believe that all women and children have a right to feel safe and secure and to live free from all forms of abuse and violence.
Exercise and Fitness – Zumba/ Exercise to Music
To promote physical fitness within the community we run the Zumba Exercise to Music Programme that encourages Bangladeshi women to improve their physical health by taking up Zumba and other dance exercises.
These sessions run twice per week and 25 -30 women attend each session.
The project runs 40 weeks per year.

Basic Welfare Advice Support
We provide basic welfare advice support in helping to complete welfare benefits, housing benefit and council tax benefit form. This also includes translating and interpreting letters, and making telephone calls on behalf of the women to the appropriate benefit agencies.

Volunteering helps you achieve your goals
People volunteer for all sorts of reasons. They might want to meet new people who share their interests, or get to know their local community. They might be driven by their own values or beliefs.
Some want to develop or exercise particular skills, some want to help create, drive or sustain a new initiative in their part of the world. Most want to help others and make a difference.
Whatever your motivation for volunteering, we will work with you to identify the opportunities that can help you realise it and achieve your goals.
Here are some of the reasons you may be self-isolating or staying at home as much as possible
- You have been advised to shield by a health professional.
- You are vulnerable for another reason, (for instance, due to disability, pregnancy, aged over 70, you have a long-term condition such as Parkinson's or epilepsy, or are vulnerable due to a mental health condition).
- You have caring responsibilities.
- You are self-isolating because you have been diagnosed with coronavirus or have symptoms, or you’ve been in contact with someone who has.
- You have been instructed to self-isolate by the ‘Test and Trace’ service, because you’ve been near someone infected.
- You are self-isolating ahead of planned hospital care.
- You have been instructed to self-isolate following entry into the country.
