Winner, the Preston Road Women's Centre, provides information, support and advice to women in Hull. It is a multi-purpose organisation run by women, for women, offering a wide range of services under one roof.

The Centre has outgrown its current base in the Big Purple House on Preston Road, and needs a new one. Your support and donations will help to build a much needed purpose-built building, which will allow Winner to continue to support women and children from across Hull.
