Lancashire Women

Who we are

Lancashire Women are a leading charity with the core vision of creating a Lancashire where all women are valued and treated as equals.

With over three decades of experience, Lancashire Women work from our female-only centres to provide safe, dedicated space for women across the county. We bring together a number of services under one roof- all designed to support women who at any one time may be dealing with a range of issues including: social isolation and exclusion, homelessness, poverty, mental ill-health, or offending behaviour.

Our services are available to all women, but in particular we work with those who find themselves in situations which can increase their vulnerability or place them at significant risk of harm - and who are often facing multiple and complex needs.

Our delivery draws upon three decades of practical experience in supporting women, and is an approach recognised nationally for its effectiveness and impact.

Our culture and values

Lancashire Women is a team, united by a shared set of values. Our collaborative and creative approach supports people to build on their own strengths, to become more confident; especially in controlling their own lives and claiming their rights.

We work under for 4 workstreams, Mental Health & Wellbeing, Employment Advice and Guidance, Money and Energy Advice and Justice & Safety.

Our approach is honest, non-judgemental and trauma-aware. We accept each person as they are and make no assumptions about them or their situation. We provide the tools to empower people to make positive change in their lives to benefit themselves and the people around them.
