We especially encourage applications from underrepresented groups, including Black, Asian and minoritised women, disabled women, LGBTQ+ survivors, and migrant women.

Sessions are held every six weeks, last up to two hours, and are usually delivered in person. Occasionally, sessions may take place online, but we ask that you are able to travel to Trafford, Greater Manchester when required.

  • A safe, inclusive, trauma-informed space
  • Flexible ways to get involved
  • Opportunities to influence real change
  • Skills-building and confidence development
  • Financial compensation for your time

Together, we can create lasting change.
