Story
Who are we?
WHISC was established in 1984 by a mixed group of women in the Vauxhall area of North Liverpool. They wanted better access to health information. So they attended a Women’s Health Course to find out more about their own health and bodies, especially in areas such as PMT and the menopause.
Where We Are Now
We support women’s mental health and wellbeing, through the provision of support services, complementary therapies, self-help, exercise classes and health education. We empower all women with information, free support and activities that combat isolation and support wellbeing.
We believe all women should be respected, and girls should grow up with high self-esteem. No one should experience barriers to getting the information, support and care they need for them to achieve optimum health. Our Drop-In provides women with a menu of services which they can engage with and our outreach activities builds links with communities throughout Merseyside.
