Well Women Centre Leigh

Well Women Centre Leigh The Well Women Centre is run by women for women. We aim to provide a quality, ‘needs led’ servic

The campaign for a Well Women Centre in Wigan Borough began in the summer of 1988. A survey of women throughout the borough was undertaken in 1990, which clearly indicated an overwhelming need for a local Well Women Centre in addition to the services being offered by the Local Health Authority. The Centre became registered as a charity and limited funding was made available through the Urban Progr

amme to set up and run a Well Women Centre based in Leigh, and the doors of the centre opened in May 1991. It soon became apparent that a service for younger women and girls would be a beneficial addition to the service already provided, and in 1995 the WISH Project was launched.
2000 saw the addition of the Counselling Service which now forms an integral part of the services offered to the women of the borough. The company, Women for Well Women, a company limited by guarantee, registration number 2668110, and a registered charity, number 1041937, now has a partnership agreement with Wigan Council, The Criminal Justice system along with funding from The Big Lottery. In 2016 the centre was awarded the prestigious Queen's Award for Voluntary Service.

Today marks ten years since Jo was killed.

We remember Jo as a mother, sister, daughter, wife, friend, campaigner and public servant. We remember her courage, her compassion, and her belief that we have more in common than that which divides us.

This is a day for reflection. It is also a moment to recommit to the work Jo inspired: building a kinder, fairer, more tolerant world, and choosing connection over division.

Last week we held another fantastic women’s event here at the Well Women Centre 💜

Lots of collaborative working amongst professionals to offer support.

We had Anna and Julie from Locala Health & Wellbeing delivering a talk regarding sexual health and completing STI testing. Helen and Carrie who are Community Liaison Officers offering support around Hep C and Rebecca and Leanne from Community outreach supporting women with all health queries and observations such as blood pressure and advocacy. The Brick for providing dental products and essential goody bags. A huge THANK YOU to all these services.

Women expressed how they enjoyed the event and look forward to the next one already.

“Today showed that empowerment grows strongest when it is shared” - 💚💜

💞Well Women Centre Leigh 💞

Another fantastic women’s event was held at the centre, bringing women together to focus on health and wellbeing in a fun and supportive environment. The day featured an interactive cooking class, demonstrating how to prepare nutritious, budget-friendly meals and highlighting practical ways to eat well for less.
Alongside this, attendees benefitted from an informative talk and live demonstration delivered by the NHS Breast Screening Service. We were especially grateful to welcome Janet Barrett, Cancer Screening Improvement Lead, whose expertise and insight added real value to the day and encouraged important conversations around women’s health.
The event also served as an opportunity to promote local support services, including The Bridge, helping to connect women with valuable resources within the community.
Overall, it was an inspiring and empowering day, filled with learning, connection, and positivity.
