​​​​TWC was set up by Christian women to improve quality of life for all women, especially those who have come to Liverpool seeking safety and sanctuary.

 

• Women without English language skills often have difficulty navigating life in the UK - from accessing key servies such as healthcare, to communicating with their own children.

 

• Women and families claiming asylum face poverty, struggling to afford basics such as clothing, food and kitchen equipment.

 

• As well as a wide range of physical health issues, many also face social isolation and mental health struggles following trauma, displacement and separation from family.

 

• A significant number of women are at increased risk from domestic violence or honour-based abuse.

 

• Homelessness and lengthy stays in temporary accommodation compound existing stress and add further challenges.

 

TWC supports women in all these situations. Many of the women we support are claiming asylum or have refugee status, while others are here on a visa.

 

The community of TWC is a safe, single-sex environment where each woman is valued and loved.

 

All our activities are available to women of any faith, with no pressure to change their personal beliefs. The vast majority of the women we support are Muslim. 

​

We are a small but growing charity, with 6 part-tme staff and around 60 volunteers.
