Be Part of Something Powerful – Help Us Build The Liberty Centre.
We’re raising funds to create a dedicated Women’s Centre for Exeter – The Liberty Centre – and we need your help to make it happen.
Exeter has been without a women’s centre for many years, despite the ongoing and growing challenges women face: homelessness, domestic and sexual abuse, trauma, poor mental health, and social isolation. These experiences often overlap, creating barriers that can feel impossible to break through alone.
CoLab Women has supported women facing multiple disadvantage since 2017, offering a safe space, practical help, and emotional support rooted in compassion and trust. Over the years, we’ve learned one vital thing – women need spaces just for them. Spaces that feel safe, empowering, welcoming, and full of possibility.
The Liberty Centre will be just that.
A place of safety. A place to heal. A place to grow.
It will offer:
Specialist domestic and sexual violence support
Trauma-informed recovery services
Opportunities for learning, connection, and creativity
Support with housing, money, parenting and more
A calm, warm environment where women feel seen and valued
This isn’t just a service — it’s a community. One designed with and for women. And now, with your help, we can bring this vision to life.
We’re asking for donations to help us secure a permanent home for The Liberty Centre and provide the essentials that will make it a truly supportive and dignified space. From childcare support to hot drinks, hygiene products to creative materials — every contribution helps build something extraordinary.
Your donation isn’t just helping fund a centre.
You’re helping a woman take her first step toward safety and community.
Toward recovery.
Toward freedom.
Please give what you can. Help us open the doors to hope, healing, and new beginnings.
Thank you
