Windsor Women's Centre

Windsor Women’s Centre is situated in the Village area of South Belfast and has been operating since 1990.  The centre works within a community development framework to develop and promote equality of opportunity and champion practices and policies to better the lives of women and their families. 

Situated in an area of high social and economic deprivation Windsor Women's Centre provides much needed services to meet the diverse needs of women and their families from the surrounding communities.   The centre typically works with around 300 service users a week.  The services provided includes access to a range of both accredited and non-accredited training and education courses, quality day care, after schools provision and advice and information.  The centre also addresses health inequalities and helps to build community confidence through the delivery of capacity building programmes.

Through its educational and training programmes, the centre offers women opportunities to acquire skills and qualifications, gain confidence and increase their prospects of meaningful employment.

Together with the voluntary and community sectors, the centre also endeavours to bring services to the area that are capable of supporting the women in the community towards building a better life for themselves and their families. Through these various programmes and services, the centre contributes significantly to community cohesion and social inclusion, in empowering women to become proactive and vocal members of the community.
