Our Mission 

“The Women’s Centre enables women to access opportunities for learning and development in a flexible and supportive environment, providing childcare focused on the needs of the child, taking account of the needs of women from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. We work in partnership with women’s organisations and other agencies in the North West, at a regional level and beyond, to influence positive change in the field of women’s equality, learning and development.”

 In 2010 we delivered services and facilities for more people than ever. The level of
provision was maintained in spite of the difficult economic climate that persists. It makes sense that demands for community based essential support services will increase at a time when recession is biting at the heels of us all.

In particular this is felt in the lives of woman and families in disadvantaged communities. Addressing disadvantage and creating strategies to enable women to access equal opportunities are core to the delivery of The Women’s Centre programmes.

The 2010 outcomes and results reflect the Centre’s success at delivering programmes and actions. Actions that enable women to play full equal roles in our community and combat poverty and disadvantage.
