Women’s Services
Women’s Services are one of the two key pillars of the work Hopscotch does.
We serve our communities by offering a series of services for women who are under the influence of inequalities and abuse.
Since 1998, Hopscotch has been a safe space for minoritised ethnic women and their families in their times of need. We have helped thousands of women out of poverty, abuse and into employment. Our elder women's services and youth provision have given hundreds of women and girls a place away from isolation, moving towards friendship and positive mental health.
We have been increasing our outreach to strengthen access to our work via a wraparound service, so that we can be there for every woman who needs us.
Domestic Abuse
Our trained Domestic Abuse advocates are available to help you. If you feel intimidated by or frightened of your partner or a family member, or if you know of anyone in that situation, please get in touch with us. We will help you find the best support for you and any children to be safe from harm.
