Proud Ambassador for Women Out West (WOW!) . Owner of Business Toolbox Cumbria . Marketing Manager at Centre for Leadership Performance West Cumbria did not have a Women's Centre! Despite significant levels of domestic abuse, crime and other issues that make women vulnerable in West Cumbria We've seen the difference that Barrow and Carlisle Women's Centres have made. Big expansions since opening. Is there a need? Really?? . Copeland and Allerdale in 10% most deprived districts nationally . 549 incidents of domestic abuse in just COPELAND in 6 months to April 2019 . Alcohol & drug related admissions are greater than national average . 136 women currently accessing Unity services . Families in not just poverty but work poverty. Choice of HEAT or EAT . Women need a safe and positive space. It can be for so many different reasons It could be profoundly challenging issues… It might just be that someone needs some positive support The project has cost £170,000 to get up and running, and is funded by the Ministry of Justice, with support from Copeland MP Trudy Harrison. It has also been born through support from many people, many directions….
