Record numbers of women are turning to Arachne for help. Over the past year demand for our welfare advice service has risen by a quarter, and we are seeing more women in crisis due to soaring living costs. Please donate to our Christmas Appeal today and help us be here for every woman who needs us.

Situation
Arachne supports vulnerable women from across London experiencing difficult situations such as debt, poverty, housing, ill health, immigration problems and domestic violence. They are stressed, anxious and feel isolated. They lack confidence and they often feel like they have nowhere else to turn. Many of the women we help have English as a second language, and face additional barriers accessing available services, for example digital exclusion.
Solution
Arachne is a safe space where women can come and discuss issues that are concerning them in confidence and seek support and advice. Our welfare advice service helps women navigate the complex UK benefits system and access benefits. Your gift will help fund a new welfare adviser for one day a week, increasing the number of women we can support. We’ll also offer groups and classes in areas like digital skills, helping women to build their confidence and improve their lives.
