Women's Holistic Support Centre

Our Service

The Women’s Centre in York is delivered in partnership with the lead provider St Giles as part of Flourish, providing an inclusive and supportive service that provides holistic, trauma-informed pathways for women. Many women using the centre have experiences of complex trauma, criminal justice involvement and feel chronically excluded.

The Women’s Centre is a place where women can gather to seek support, develop peer networks and enjoy time in a safe, non-judgemental, women-only space. The recently refurbished centre comprises kitchen and laundry facilities, shower and a peaceful garden in a discrete location in York.
