Objectives

Run by women, for women. We offer a safe and supportive environment for all women to come together, gain confidence, develop skills, get support and much more!

We exist to help women to achieve their aims, become stronger and more independent, and we provide a safe and supportive environment in which women can do this.

Our Values:

  • We are feminist, working towards transformational and substantive political, economic and social equality for women; in all of our activities, we will raise awareness of the inequalities experienced by women in society and provide interventions to redress the balance;

  • We are inclusive, accessible, welcoming and provide services to all women, regardless of age, race, disability, religion and belief, lesbian, bisexual or transgender identity, or any other irrelevant factor;

  • We are responsive, listening to the needs of women and their children and targeting services and resources to meet the needs of the women who need us the most;

  • We believe in person-centred solutions, recognising that each woman has unique needs and a unique background, and we tailor our services as a result;

  • We are partners, recognising that more is achieved through collaboration and co-operation than competition; we will work with other organisations which share our values to achieve more for women and children;

  • We are stewards, taking great care of the resources entrusted to us by others, whether this is money, time or trust, and we are open and transparent in our reporting;

  • We listen, learn and adapt, involving our stakeholders in what we do and how we do it; we seek feedback and say sorry and put things right if something has gone wrong;

  • We are professional, aiming for excellence in everything we do;

  • We are positive, about the women and children we work with, about the opportunities we can create and the amazing things that we can achieve together.

Activities

We help women build self confidence and independence by enabling them to address and resolve issues in their lives. We run a regular programme of training courses and other support services from within the Centre, making us a ‘one-stop shop’ for women in Nottingham. Our services are available to all women, without exclusion.

Nottingham Women’s Centre is also host to two local women’s organisations – Women’s Aid Integrated Services and Nottingham Rape Crisis Centre. We work closely with other women’s organisations and listen to the needs of local women when shaping our services.
