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

Workshop recovery programme

The pandemic has left a long-lasting scar on the women we support and the cost of living crisis has made things worse. Women's mental health has declined as the demands on them increase. Services are struggling to support those who come to them for help. As more and more women slip through the net they come to us at their wits end crippled with anxiety and looking for help with finding jobs, finding a way forward, finding themselves.

Yet we too have been affected as our funders reduce the grants available whilst the competition for them increases. We can offer support but need to raise £5,031 to provide eight professionally facilitated workshops over the next 12 months in accessible venues. That could help more than 100 women get jobs, be able to stand up to those who take advantage of them, to transform their lives. Will you help? Make a donation now and in the comments box tell us it is for the workshop recovery programme.
