Many women in Cambridge are coping with trauma, abuse, and poverty without access to the support they need.

CWRC provides free, trauma-informed counselling for women who would otherwise go without it.

Last year, we received over 100 referrals from mental health services. Many of these women could not access support through the NHS due to long waiting lists or short-term provision, and could not afford private therapy. For many, this is the first time they’ve been able to access therapy.

Our counselling service provides a safe, consistent space where women can begin to process their experiences and find stability. But right now, this service is unfunded.

Our goal is to raise £15,000 to fund an expanded counselling service for one year.

Your donation will mean women in Cambridge can continue to access the support they need.
