Our Impact
We have provided a valuable lifeline for women during difficult times both through our online activities and through our face-to-face ones.
​
Here are some examples of the impact our work has made:
COMMUNITY AND FRIENDSHIP
Through our virtual peer talking groups, workshops and face-to-face activities we have created a network of friendship and support for women in London and beyond.
IMPROVED MENTAL HEALTH
The women who have taken part in our activities have reported a reduction in stress & anxiety levels as well as loneliness & isolation.
PROFESSIONAL HELP
Through signposting and partnerships with local mental health charities and organisations, some women have gone onto seeking professional help for their mental health well-being.
LIFE SATISFACTION
Some women have expanded their skills and learned new ones through volunteering and training courses, and reported an increase in self-confidence and life-satisfaction.
Why For Women
FOR WOMEN stands out as a community where peer support, self-awareness, and cultural competence are the foundation. We believe that celebrating diversity, showing curiosity, and honouring each other’s unique backgrounds foster an empowering environment where every woman feels valued and understood. By embracing both shared and unique experiences, we encourage women to find strength in their own identity and learn from the stories of others.
​
Together, we are building a community where every woman feels empowered, respected, and capable of pursuing a life aligned with her values and goals.
​
​
FOR WOMEN offers a range of group-based activities where self-awareness, peer support, and cultural competence are at the heart of personal growth and empowerment.

​
Fitness and Wellness Programs

FOR WOMEN has transformed our lives in ways we never imagined. Through their activities, we’ve explored history, customs, entertainment, arts, and culture. We’ve discovered how food can create connections, uniting us across cultures and traditions. More importantly, we’ve learned about self-awareness and self-care not just as physical or nutritional goals, but as deeper practices that nurture our emotional and mental well-being. This community has given us the strength to tackle isolation and loneliness, offering us friendship, support, and hope during difficult moments. Thanks to FOR WOMEN, we wake up with purpose and optimism. The love and respect we’ve received here are gifts we will carry with us forever. We are deeply grateful for the work FOR WOMEN does, and we know we wouldn’t be where we are today without it.
