"When women support each other, incredible things happen." 

Founded in 2001, Stockport Women's Centre is a safe place run for women to get the support they need to thrive.  

Run by women, for women, all our support is free of charge to any woman living in Stockport aged 18 or over. 

Based in Stockport town centre, we are open five days a week (Mon-Fri) with a range of drop-in sessions and group activities alongside one-to-one support. 

As a trauma-informed environment, we understand the challenges women face – our aim is for every woman to feel safe, valued, resilient and heard. 

As a registered charity we rely on grants and donations to support as many women as possible – click here to find out how you can support us.
