When I first opened the Just for women centre it wasn’t just a dream it was a response to a deep and urgent need I saw in our community. I founded this space because I believe every woman and young girl deserves a place where she feels safe, heard, and valued. A place where healing isn’t just possible, it’s expected.
Over the years I’ve witnessed the silent struggles of individuals facing mental health challenges, surviving abuse and carrying the weight of trauma. Too often these battles are fought behind closed doors in isolation and without support. I wanted to change that.
Just for women was born out of a desire to create a sanctuary. A place an individual could walk in and feel the burden begin to lift. Where they could speak freely, cry openly and rebuild their strength surrounded by compassion and understanding. We are more than a centre we are a community, a lifeline, and a movement.
Our mission is simple but powerful: to empower women and girls to reclaim their stories, rediscover their worth and rebuild their lives. Through counselling, creative therapies, peer support and educational programs, we offer tools not just for survival but for transformation.
This centre stands as a testament to resilience. It’s built on the belief that healing is not only possible, it’s our right and while our journey may be long, no woman should ever have to walk it alone.
Thank you for being part of this vision. Whether your seeking support, offering it, or simply standing with us, you are helping to shape a future where every woman knows she matters.
With hope and solidarity” – Linda Kirk/founder of the JFW Centre
“Founded with vision to uplift, heal, and connect, our women’s centre stands as a sanctuary of strength, resilience, and possibility. We are here for those who need a safe space to grow, heal and thrive. Through holistic support, education and wellness initiatives that honour every woman’s journey.
As an award-winning centre recognised nationally and internationally, we don’t just offer services we cultivate change. From trauma support mental health issues, peer led initiatives and leadership development, we are a catalyst for personal and collective transformation.
Our founder brings passion for healing and empowerment that infuses every corner of our work. Together we champion wellness, equality, and community. This is a place where stories are honoured, voices are heard and futures are shaped, whether you are seeking support, connection, or inspiration – you belong here.”
This year we have made a record number of contacts with women and young girls through face-to-face support, counselling, group-work programmes, as well as accredited and non-accredited courses.
We know that to offer a consistent and person-centred support service we must not focus only on singular issues such as abuse, but must also recognise that there are many factors which determine the wellbeing of women and girls.
With this in mind, we validate and work collectively with a range of problems and place equal importance on all.
The Men’s Group at the Just for Women Centre is a powerful and much-needed space where men from all walks of life come together to talk, heal, and grow. Led by Darren who is one of the centre’s compassionate and skilled counsellors, this weekly workshop offers a safe, non-judgmental environment where men can openly discuss their mental health, personal struggles, and life challenges. Each session is thoughtfully structured to encourage honest conversation, emotional resilience, and peer support, often incorporating practical tools for managing stress, building confidence, and improving relationships.
In a society where men are often expected to “just get on with it,” this group breaks down barriers and fosters connection, reminding participants that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. We commend Darren for his dedication and empathy, his leadership is the heartbeat of the group.
This workshop is vital for our community, offering men a lifeline of support and a reminder that they’re never alone.
