Waterside Women’s Centre
The Waterside Women’s Centre was set up as a safe space for women to meet, attend workshops and classes, and to find out about the wide range of support and services that are available locally. We welcome everyone and we are also keen to hear ideas to ensure our services are responsive to women of all ages.
The Centre has an excellent on-site creche which enables mums and carers of babies and young children to participate in our programmes or to have a couple of hours to themselves.
The Centre will be 30 years old this year (2024) and we have received many positive testimonies from women who have availed of our services over the years, including some who described the Centre as a ‘lifeline’.
