Strathfoyle Women's Activity Group Ltd

Our project is designed to empower individuals while building their capacity to enable them to participate in training events and development activities & health events. The long-term outcome being that their self-esteem, self awareness and confidence is raised equipping them to become re-integrated into the labor market, also in doing this we aim to break down the barriers to participation i.e. Crèche facilities being available for all day-time activities to enable individuals to participate. We are a grass roots organisation and we regularly evaluate all of our services to ascertain the needs of the community.

Our centre has been in the heart of the community that we serve for the past 30 years, we are very aware of the needs of the community. Our centre is within walking distance for all residents. We have an excellent working relationship with local Health Visitors and Social Workers, who often make referrals to our Drop in Childcare programme, for families who need a little bit of family support.

Local families who are in need will benefit from the service, we can take self referrals and also referrals from health visitors and social workers. We bring in guest speakers to the parents informing them on various health and education related topics as needs arise.
