Presentation by The Women Hub

The Women Hub Project was set up to empower women in Islington. They presented an impactful overview of the various workshops delivered to the local borough of Islington, highlighting their commitment to community engagement and empowerment. They reached a total of 751 women through its workshops, with 601 women actively participating in all activities. A variety of workshops, peer support groups, and events were hosted, and several partnerships have been formed with charities, community centres, and organisations. Among the initiatives were cooking workshops that fostered culinary skills and cultural exchange, Wellbeing Saturdays promoting mental health and social connection, Movement and Scent sessions designed to enhance physical well-being through mindfulness, and the Song Club, which encouraged creativity and self-expression through music. Each workshop not only addressed specific community needs but also created a supportive environment for participants to connect and thrive which was seen through the various photos that were presented by the team. Through the Women’s Hub Project, a women’s leaders group was also created consisting of service users, clients, and independent members of the community who were involved in shaping the services they wanted to see. As the Women’s Hub comes to an end, this event served as a poignant reminder of the positive impact these programs have made in the community and the lasting connections formed among participants. We are going to be continuing our community work via Islington Mind on our shared women sanctuary day where we will be continuing some of the great initiatives championed by the Women’s Hub. More details to follow soon.
