Each session created space for women to ask questions, exchange ideas and connect environmental topics with their lived experiences.

⏰ Just 2 weeks left to double your impact! 💛

Time is running out to support our New Routes to Financial Wellbeing campaign.

This 12-month project will support around 100 refugee and migrant adults across Greater Manchester who are experiencing financial hardship, isolation and barriers to opportunity, including people with No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF).

Through practical workshops, peer support and tailored guidance, participants will build confidence in managing money, improving digital skills, accessing essential services and taking steps towards training, volunteering and employment.

Together, we're creating safe, welcoming spaces where people can rebuild confidence, connection and independence.

🙌 Every donation is match funded, meaning every pound you give will be doubled at no extra cost to you.

Help us reach our goal before time runs out. 💛
