When I was on a volunteer placement at the women's centre, everyone was fantastic, couldn't do enough to help, very warm and inviting as well as supportive.. Continue doing your amazing work ladies!! ☺ x

Went for personal advice. Was bowled over by the service. Very professional, understanding and caring. More women should know about this wonderful service. I didn't until now.

Visited the team at the Blackpool centre as part of my induction into primary and intermediate mental health services in Blackpool. Passionate, knowledgable and friendly staff - look forward to working with you in the future!

This centre helped me through post natal depression whilst struggling with 2 young children. I felt afraid and alone. The doctors offered medication which I didn't want and put me on a 2 year waiting list for counselling. The women's centre got me help within weeks. Counselling, positive parenting courses, self esteem classes and free childcare. They were a godsend in a dark time.

Thirty years on and growing. This organisation has always and will continue to help, sustain and support women in Lancashire and beyond. It is no exageration to say that I would not be who I am today, or even, obliquely, here, were it not for LWC. Here's to the next thirty years!!!

They are so lovely, and supporting, i've made some lovely friends since going, im currently on a course for confidence building .

There are not enough words to say what the women's centre have done for me, from helping me send an email to getting me a tenancy, they stuck with me step by step through my recovery from heroin and crack Cocain, in most instances I would feel uncomfortable to have a key worker substantially younger than me but that's not how I felt at when I was welcomed with open arms at Blackpool Womans centre they felt more like a friend then just a worker reading from a textbook

Such a good service, everyone is very friendly helpful and welcoming. I have just completed the mindfit and I'm feeling more confident, starting why worry next week. I'm enjoying growing and learning about myself and making new friends.��

Preston center are amazing helping me alot :)

Lancashire womens centre's are amazing safe spaces where you can gain support, advice, help and the ability to talk over what it is that concerns you. There is a great community supportive spirit too. Im looking at the training they offer to empower myself and improve my situation. Such valuble resource.

I'd like to post a review for Nichola from the Blackpool service, she's one amazing woman! I suffered with anxiety and it was quite severe, I finished my sessions last October and I've gone from having fears of the roads...to driving, having fears of being out and speaking to strangers...to now working in a pub and also working in a call centre to help elderly people, before my therapy I hadn't worked for 6 years because of anxiety and depression, and she literally swept it from under neath me, I honestly cant thank her enough for what she has done for me!❤️

I was on the on the mind fit programme come right throu to the prize.i thourouly loved it..I'm hoping I become a mentor one day..I'm a new women thanx to this place.best thing I ever did..my tutor Donna was amazing..thankyou once again..x

I cant thank The Womens centre enough for all the work they do. Ive been going through a very rough 4 years and I must say since I found out about the centre they have helped me tremendously with everything from depression,housing,problems with DWP,any problem ive had at all. Once Im through my tough time I'm hoping to repay them by volounteering my services in any way as my brain will be back fully functioning and ill have my serious head on for help with problems with council,DWP, etc,etc.hope its not too long but thank you for all your help.xxxx

Excellent organisation - continuously growing and adapting to the needs of local women :)

Currently having some CBT sessions with Orla from Living Well. Can already feel the difference after just a few weeks. Keep up the good work ladies!!!

Come along way since being seen by the amazing people from woman's centre, my Anxiety and depression has improved so much, my life is now back on track thanks to woman's centre, I've been having one to one sessions and now moved up to group sessions and also doing volunteer work and doing maths in college and without woman's centre i dunno were id be, would like to thank everyone of you, you've turned my life around for good, i feel so much more confident and i have a lot more motivation Xx
