Refer a woman to wellbeing built for her
You see the women who fall through the gaps. Isolated and low, priced out, or sure that nothing was made for them. We are the warm place you can send them in Wandsworth. Women-only and low-cost. Check upcoming dates or contact us before referring.

How to refer
No form, just a warm handover
Pick whatever is easiest for her. All we need is her first name and how she would like us to get in touch.
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 or email us
Send us her first name and how she would like to be contacted. We reach out gently and let her set the pace.
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.
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 →
