Mission Statement
Our Vision An equal and fair society where every woman can live a full and rewarding life. Our Purpose To work holistically with women in trauma-informed, inclusive safe spaces to enable them to thrive. Our Values Openness We approach every woman with an open mind and an open heart. We build trusting relationships where every woman can be completely herself. Strength Our team must be strong, to fight the inequality we see around us. And we need to help women build their own inner strength, so that they can go on to live independent, rewarding and happy lives. This also strengthens the people and the society around them. Equality We care equally about every woman, and every team member. And we believe passionately in building a society where every individual is treated equally, regardless of their gender. As an accredited trauma-informed organisation, we ensure the Trauma-Informed Core Values are informing every area of our work. These are: Trust, Choice, Collaboration, Safety and Empowerment.
About This Cause
We’re Brighton Women’s Centre and we’ve been supporting self-identifying women in Sussex for 50 years. We help women from all backgrounds, facing all kinds of issues, to live happier lives. We are run for women by women. BWC is based in Brighton city centre, in one of the top 10% areas of deprivation in the UK (IMD, 2019), and we currently have services across Sussex from Crawley to Worthing, Eastbourne, Hastings, and since 2021 we have stretched into Kent. We work with many of the most marginalised women across Sussex, including women who are homeless or insecurely housed, women involved in the criminal justice system, survivors of abuse and discrimination, elderly women, women on low incomes, living in poverty and those struggling with long-term mental and physical health conditions. A large proportion of our clients live with multiple disadvantage. All of them have experienced trauma, with a very high number having experienced domestic violence either as a child or adult. We help women with accommodation, health and well-being, finances, childcare and early years education and social connections through casework, drop-ins, outreach, group work, one-to-one support, referrals and signposting, working with women in a trauma-informed way. By placing women at the heart of our services at BWC, we ensure that every woman is: *Heard *Held *Happier *Hopeful
