Young Women

Together Women work with women and girls with multiple and complex needs across the North of England. We pride ourselves in our person-centred approach, putting our clients at the heart of the support they receive from us and working to better empower women providing them with the tools and confidence to lead healthier and happier lives.

Our centres offer safe, women-only spaces from which key workers and sessional staff provide needs assessment, action-planning, support and case management for women and girls referred by a number of different agencies. Centres also provide a wide range of group programmes, training, workshops and self-help groups. Women and girls can access mentoring support from trained former clients called ‘peer mentors,’ encouraging them towards personal growth and development.

What our women say

“Together women have helped me every step of the way. They have helped me get my own place and get a good job, I’m so grateful to Fiona for all her support. She is always there for me and I couldn’t of done this well without her. I am volunteering to help out with prisoners that are in a similar situation to the one I was in because it’s such a lonely, sad place to be. I think everyone who gets support from together women are so much more likely to succeed. I wanted to say thank you to Fiona for everything. I know I’ve got another year of support yet but I’m so grateful!”

“The mental health team introduced me to Together Women because my depression was so bad. This has had such a big impact on my life, it’s given me back my confidence. I’m much braver now. I used to just sit around doing nothing but now I’m much healthier physically which has helped emotionally too. I feel ready to get back to work, I’ve been inspired into a healthier lifestyle.”
