Activities - how the charity spends its money

There is a gap in support available to women and girls in the UK who have reached a crisis point or who are suffering emotional or mental health issues. We want to fill that gap by establishing a free confidential helpline, staffed by women, which will serve as a first port of call for support for women and girls from age 11, or secondary school (Year 7) onwards.
