We help Women by

Getting to know their needs and understanding how we can support them. Women self-refer by registering at one of our twice-weekly drop-in sessions. We aim to collaborate with women to assess their needs and develop a support plan, identifying the most appropriate service or treatment available for them at that time.

Established over thirty years ago the Well Women Centre plays a unique role in promoting women’s mental health and wellbeing. We are a registered charity (1107523) and company limited by guarantee.

Our legal objects are to

“Preserve, promote and protect the good health both mental and physical of women in Wakefield regardless of age, class, culture, race religion, sexuality or medico-social need”.
