We need your help. The impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic is having a substantial impact on the number of calls we are receiving asking for our help. In the last 4 weeks alone, we have seen an uplift of 70% in calls to our centre.

We know our services are needed now more than ever before, particularly as lockdown has put increased pressure on isolated women, but the current situation is putting some vital aspects of our work at risk. We are heavily reliant on fundraising income to continue what we do. All our fundraising events are on hold, we are applying for other funds via grants, but these take time and are not guaranteed. We rely on receiving approximately £5000 income from fundraising events each year.

We are in urgent need of replacing the lost income to continue our work in supporting the women of Stockport, so please if you are able to make a donation, we would be so grateful. Perhaps you could donate the price of the ticket from one of our fundraising events we havent be able to hold or some of the money you may have saved on transport to work or to your gym or sports club. Perhaps you are saving money from the gym membership you usually pay. Any amount, however small would be amazing and help our women. A donation of £5 would help us to talk by phone to a woman in need.

Stockport Women centre is determined to continue its vital work of improving the quality of womens lives in Stockport. Our mission remains unchanged supporting, empowering and educating women to improve their mental and physical health and well-being, enabling them and their families to have improved life chances.
