How to refer

No form, just a warm handover

Pick whatever is easiest for her. With her agreement, share her first name and how she would like us to get in touch. She can also contact us herself.

1

Tell her about us

The simplest referral. Pass on our WhatsApp number and let her message in her own time, when she feels ready.

2

Message us privately

With her agreement, send us her first name and preferred contact details so we can help her plan a first visit.

3

Walk her in

If she would feel safer arriving with someone, a support worker or family member is welcome to come along the first time.

Message us on WhatsApp →

If you can’t use WhatsApp, email a referral.

For family & friends

Worried about your mum, sister or neighbour?

You do not have to be a professional to refer. If there is a woman in your life who has gone quiet, who never seems to do anything for herself, this is a soft place to point her. Message us and we will reach out gently, or bring her along yourself the first time.

However she arrives, she will be expected, welcomed, and never made to explain herself.

We also keep a short list of other places in Wandsworth, for money, housing, childcare and health, with a note on each saying how well we know it. Find help in Wandsworth →

Referral questions

Is there a cost for the woman I refer?

The Friday walk in Battersea Park is free. The Monday Fitwell class is £5, and Communi-TEA tickets are £3, with tea and treats included. Monday tea is free. If cost is a barrier, we hold free and reduced-cost places, no proof or paperwork needed. Nobody is turned away for money.

Do you have a waiting list?

Please check the booking calendar or contact us about a place at the next session. There is no assessment to pass. We can help her plan a first visit.

Which areas do you cover?

We are based in Wandsworth and serve women across the borough, including Battersea, SW11 and the surrounding areas. Sessions run at Kambala Community Hall in SW11 and in Battersea Park.

Who is it for?

Women aged 18 and over. We are centred on women from ethnic minority and Muslim communities, and every woman is welcome. It suits women who are isolated, low in mood, new to the area, or priced out of mainstream wellbeing.

How do I refer someone?

There is no formal form. Tell her about us and pass on our WhatsApp number, or with her agreement, message us privately on WhatsApp with her first name and how she would like to be contacted. Email is available if WhatsApp is not an option. We can help her plan a first visit.

Do you have safeguarding in place?

Yes. We are a registered Community Interest Company with safeguarding and other policies in place. You can read more on our governance page, and raise anything with us directly.
