Founded in 2018, the Ayrshire Women’s Hub is a community interest company that
focuses on supporting women and families. We work with women and families across
Ayrshire who face hardships such as social isolation and loneliness,
homelessness, sexual exploitation, abuse, addictions, mental and physical health
problems, long-term unemployment, poverty and more. Our mission is to promote
positive change and provide solutions that make a lasting impact within the
community of Ayrshire. We provide a warm, friendly, safe environment, where
women and families can come to get support, socialise, make friends and help
empower each other through our workshops and group activities. In the three
years that we have been providing our services we have helped assist thousands
of vulnerable women and their families. Our highly trained team of support
workers, community engagement officers and training and prevention coordinators
bring a wealth of knowledge from various areas of health and social care and
community learning and development. We deliver a holistic approach and work
collaboratively with other services and organisations throughout Ayrshire to
help achieve positive outcomes for our service users. The AWH has evolved and
grown considerably since the organisation first began, and we hope to be able to
continue providing our vital service for many years to come. Emotional &
