Women and girls across Teesside experience abuse, exploitation, poverty, homelessness, addiction, poor mental health and involvement with the criminal justice system. Recovery is often shaped by trauma and a lack of safe, trusted support. Our current premises are not secure long term and could be lost within five years. Without a permanent base, women and girls risk losing access to the consistent, trauma-informed support they rely on.

We will create a permanent trauma-informed Women & Girls Centre where women and girls can access support, safety and belonging under one roof. Designed alongside those who use our services, the space will provide 1:1 support, groups, advocacy and therapeutic interventions. A secure long-term home will ensure women and girls always have a trusted place to turn, helping them stay safer, build confidence, recover from trauma and create positive futures.
