At WayfinderWoman, we help women across Eastbourne and East Sussex to overcome challenges, rebuild confidence, and connect with supportive networks. Whether you’re adjusting to a life change, returning to work, or looking for a safe space to talk, we’re here to help you take that next step forward.
Life’s twists and turns can be hard to navigate alone. Our charity provides a warm, non-judgemental space where women can share experiences, access guidance, and discover practical ways to move forward.
From grant-funded workshops on confidence and life skills to one-to-one coaching for career and personal development, our services are designed to meet the needs of local women. We also run coffee mornings, walking groups, and creative meetups to help you build connections. Many of our events and activities are offered free of charge or on a “pay-as-much-as-you-can” donation basis. To secure your place we may ask for a deposit upfront which is refunded when you attend.
Opening Hours – Monday to Friday:
Drop-in 10am–1pm,
Appointments 1.30pm–4.30pm
At our Eastbourne drop-in hub, you’ll meet women who understand your challenges. Whether you’re here for advice, training, or simply a friendly chat, you’ll be welcomed as part of our community.
Find out more about WayfinderWoman, the help and support we provide, our upcoming events and how to get in touch.
From peer support from our empathic team at our drop-in advice Hub, to group workshops, online or in person, we can help you overcome the barriers preventing you from succeeding.
Our help and support is either free or low cost but we can only do that with grants and fundraising. Join us in helping to raise those important and potentially life-changing funds.

Help us fund creative workshops for women
Creativity changes lives. We've seen it first-hand.
Our regular coffee mornings have become hugely successful—not just as a space for connection, but because we’ve started including creative elements like small craft activities and group art projects. These creative touches have had a remarkable impact, and attendees have been consistently asking for more. It's clear that engaging in creative work brings joy, builds confidence, and opens the door to deeper conversations and community.
That’s why we’re raising funds to launch a series of creative workshops—from crafting and painting to journaling and textile arts.
These sessions will be more than just a chance to make something beautiful. They’re designed to:
• Support mental health and emotional well-being
• Build communication and self-expression
• Strengthen community connections
• Reduce isolation and loneliness
To make this happen, we need to raise £2,800. This will cover the cost of materials, facilitators, venue hire, and refreshments—everything needed to create a safe, welcoming space where women can come together, learn new skills, and support each other.
We believe creativity is not a luxury—it’s a lifeline. And with your help, we can provide women with the tools and space they need to heal, grow, and connect.
Donate today and help bring these workshops to life.
Together, we can create something truly meaningful.
This initiative directly supports our mission to empower women, relieve emotional hardship, and help them re-enter work and society with confidence. Please help us raise the funds and quote 'Creative Groups' when making your donation.
