About

We have been delivering invaluable support for women in Derby and Derbyshire since 1978 and have established ourselves as a leading provider of women's support services in Derby. As a female-only organisation, we are ideally placed to support women who do not feel comfortable accessing this elsewhere e.g. if they have been victims of domestic violence. Because we are not a specialist organisation, our services are open to all women irrespective of cultural background, religion or disability.

We are a registered charity, and our charity number is 1135743.
