About Us
We work with many of the most marginalised women across Sussex, including women who are homeless or insecurely housed, women involved in the criminal justice system, survivors of abuse and discrimination, elderly women, women on low incomes, living in poverty and those struggling with long-term mental and physical health conditions.
A large proportion of our clients live with multiple disadvantage. All of them have experienced trauma, with a very high number having experienced domestic violence either as a child or adult.
We help women with accommodation, health and well-being, finances, childcare and early years education and social connections through casework, drop-ins, outreach, group work, one-to-one support, referrals and signposting, working with women in a trauma-informed way.
By placing women at the heart of our services at BWC, we ensure that every woman is:
*Heard
*Held
*Happier
*Hopeful
