59 are now on the road to recovery from drugs and alcohol
72 women who had been attacked were linked in to victim support services, including therapy, police and testifying in court
54 women took part in skill-building or social activities.
23 women started volunteering, 4 took on courses in the community and 2 got jobs.
9 women were cared for during their pregnancy
86 women gained confidence and self-worth enough to believe change is possible for them.

How we measure our impact

Our commitment to helping vulnerable women transform their lives is backed by robust impact measurement. Our bespoke database logs women’s immediate and long-term needs, take up of services, the sorts of interventions they require and actions taken. Most recently, our impact was recognized when we were awarded the level one quality mark from PQASSO – widely recognised as the standard of having a comprehensive framework for running an effective organisation. Our previous awards include:

An MBE for our former CEO for her services to vulnerable women 2015
