Women's Voices evolved from the Manchester Women’s Care Group which supported women with mental health issues who lacked confidence and were isolated from society. After 2 years, having developed their own confidence, skills and abilities, these women were determined to work together and volunteer to help other women in similar situations, and so formed Women's Voices in August 2013. Women's Voice

s seeks to support victims of many forms of abuse, isolation, intimidation and lack of access to support, training and advice so that they can achieve independence and self-reliance. It also looks to encourage social enterprise to generate income which will be reinvested back into the group. We have attracted many volunteers, attendees and support agencies including Women Care Group, Friendship Healthcare Women's Association, The Roby, South Manchester Law Centre, Manchester City Council, Ward Councillors and Co-ordinators. We have already supported women to establish their own social enterprise groups, participate as volunteers at events and develop their own sewing group to both teach women these skills and then sell the items that they have made.

Sometimes the funniest thing in the room is the truth, said out loud, by someone who’s lived it.

Join us for a Comedy Night, an evening of stand up, sharp wit, and the kind of laughter that comes from finally hearing your own life said back to you as a joke.

This is a women only event.

Join us for an evening of tappay, the short, playful, and heartfelt folk couplets sung by women for generations, at weddings, in courtyards, in the quiet hours when the day’s work is done. Come sing, or come and listen.

Join us for a Women’s Health Talk with Dr Sujatha Pillai, covering the conditions that affect South Asian women most, and often go unspoken: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, menstrual health, anaemia, and osteoporosis.

This is a space to ask the questions you don’t always get to ask, and to learn how to look after yourself the way you look after everyone else.

Come with your questions. Come with your mum, your sister, your friend. Come just to listen. 🌸

Some songs don’t need a stage. They just need women, sitting close, remembering. Boliyan have travelled that way for generations, passed from one voice to the next at weddings, at harvests, in kitchens and courtyards, in the quiet moments between work and rest. They are short, but they hold so much: joy, longing, teasing, grief, love. The kind of songs that were never written down because they didn’t need to be. Someone simply remembered, and sang, and someone else answered back.

This South Asian Heritage Month, Women’s Voices is bringing that tradition into a room in Levenshulme. Not a performance. A gathering. Women singing to each other the way they always have, in unison.

If your mother or grandmother ever hummed a boli while she worked, this one is for her too.

Come sit with us.

Phase 1 of the Climate Sisters project has now come to an end, and it has been a really positive experience for the women involved. The sessions created a welcoming space for women to come together, share their experiences, and build a clear understanding of key themes around climate sustainability.

Through the project, women gained confidence and knowledge that they will take back into their communities, becoming community champions and sharing what they have learned with others. We were pleased to deliver this work in partnership with Women’s Environmental Network ( )whose support made this possible.

We are grateful to all the women who took part and look forward to building on this work in the next phase. 💚
