A safe and welcoming place for women
Did you know?
- Last financial year, we saw a 30% growth in the number of women aged 18-34 seeking support here at Hutt St Centre.
- And overall, women make up more than a third of the people who access our services.
Asking for help is a huge step for anyone who's doing it tough. But, in particular, for the 300 or so women who walk through our doors each month, it's a moment of significant uncertainty and vulnerability.
That’s why, on International Women's Day, we were delighted to welcome a group of these resilient and inspiring women to join our special celebration.
We served high tea, watched the movie Erin Brockovich and listened to guest speaker, Melinda O’Leary. Melinda is a career consultant who volunteers her time to offer employment mentoring with Hutt St Centre clients so they can rebuild their lives and face the future with confidence.
A huge thank you to all the women who joined us for this fabulous celebration, to our staff and volunteers who created a safe and welcoming space for the group to gather, and to our supporters who make moments of connection like this possible.
