We're here to help at The WayfinderWoman Trust. Run by women, for women, we help those who are feeling anxious and uncertain about themselves or their future. By building their self confidence and skills they then are able to challenge any barriers that face them in finding a better life.

Our priority project

Save the mothers' support group

A pivotal support group that helps new mums cope with mild to moderate mental health issues is facing closure from 1 April budget cuts hits their funding and we need your help to save it.

We've stepped up and offered to host the support group for its weekly meetings as we're keen to fill this urgent need to provide a safe, welcoming space for women to share their experiences, receive peer support, and rebuild their confidence.

Cuts to funding means that none of the current staff support and funding for venues and equipment will be available. To do this, we need to raise £6,287 so we can make our meeting space safe and fit for purpose for mums, their babies and toddlers in the short term, and then pay for venues and equipment for long-term.

We're asking for donations large or small to help us achieve this via the donate button below. We're being supported by Eastbourne MP, Josh Babarinde OBE, who said, “This gap in services leaves women at risk of isolation, delaying recovery and impacting their wellbeing, confidence, and ability to return to work. The positive impact of this project will be far-reaching, ensuring that vulnerable women receive the support they deserve at a critical time in their lives.”
