Objectives

Several Seats is a social enterprise that promotes positive mental health in women from ethnic minority backgrounds.

We create a safe space for peer-to-peer support and learning, where ethnic minority women have a seat at the table where they can be seen and heard. Our services are informed by lived experience and provide access to different networks and opportunities for learning and development.  

Several Seats seeks to inspire, empower, and educate the women in our community. We have several different programmes, projects, events and campaigns for you to get involved in.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to champion, support and encourage ethnic minority women to share their stories and lived experience and normalise conversations about mental health.
