AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
Wandsworth Asian Women’s Association, a charitable organisation, established in 1992 to promote physical and mental wellbeing of women in general, particularly Asian women in the borough of Wandsworth.
Its main aim is to combat the issue of loneliness and isolation of women who have nowhere suitable to go to. We endeavour to provide an environment where women find themselves in a comfortable and familiar setting that gives them an opportunity to get out of their homes.
It is our goal to provide opportunities for education so that women can lead their day-to-day life independently. It is our desire to offer some form of activities for women who find it challenging to attend regular groups because of language or culture barrier.
The Association is being looked after by a group of trustees and two part time staff.
A Centre for women only
. Tuesday and Wednesday Timings: 10.00am – 4.00pm

Our Work.
The organisation has been offering its services since 1992 to especially Asian women but it is open to women from all other communities.
We have successfully tackled the issue of loneliness and isolation for women who had nowhere to go to, by providing them an opportunity to get out of their homes. Women look forward to attend the centre every week and socialise with members who they have befriended in the centre. Some of these women have faced usual problems in accessing the services provided by the local authorities and had problems integrating in the society, due to lack of English language and thus lack of self-confidence. Our project has helped them overcome these issues and they feel comfortable coming out to a place which is homely and familiar to them.
Those who live with their extended families often want to have a place to get away to as they see themselves as a burden on their young families. It also provides respite for families with frail members who need constant attention.
ACTIVITIES
Luncheon Club
Our Luncheon club is a popular attraction for both our clients and elderly members living in the Anchor Housing society building, a shelter housing for elderly. Our premises are located in this building. Fresh food is cooked on the premises by volunteers and is sold at a subsidised price. They look forward to a hot healthy meal at lunch time and an opportunity to buy food to take home.
In addition, we have a few regulars, elderly men and women who take food from us who live alone and are residents of Wandsworth borough. Food is also provided to any home ridden ladies and to other people who have no means of cooking at home.
Regular activities taking place to give the women quality time.
-
English classes to teach the members some basic English for everyday use.
-
Exercise classes . They are being organised by a member of our club who after research on the internet finds suitable exercises which are fit for the elderly. The ladies motivated to do exercise and are provided with leaflets to do these exercises. These include chair-based exercises which are appropriate for the elderly ladies who have mobility problems and find these beneficial.

Cooking classes for the benefit of the younger group.

SERVICES PROVIDED TO MEMBERS
Outreach is provided on regular basis. The staff and volunteer keep in touch with the families of our clients. Support is given to the family if there is bereavement in the family. Members who cannot attend due to illness are kept in touch by phone. Sometimes they request food from the centre. Whenever possible, effort is made to visit them in their homes.
We advise them on health issues, co-ordinate with Social Services and relevant agencies and act as interpreters for them.
Many of the ladies, who do not speak English, need our assistance to help them by
-
making phone calls
-
writing letters on their behalf to relevant agencies.
-
completing their benefits claims and other forms
-
contacting council and social services
-
submitting housing applications,
-
making/changing hospital appointments
-
paying bills
-
reading and translating letters and finding directions for the place of appointment.
-
Help with computer skills. Setting laptop up and how to surf internet.
4
- Use of mobile phones.
We dedicate a lot of time to help women. Sometimes we have to sign post to other agencies if we are unable to help them sort their problems that require professional or legal assistance. Many a time, such ladies need support and need us to accompany them to other agencies such as Citizen Advice Bureau or Council departments.
Volunteers offer to accompany ladies to different statutory services in the Borough. Admin staff often helps clients with their enquiries and their individual problems. Also accompanies clients to their appointments for translation.
Arrangement is made for outside professional groups to visit the centre to provide help and advice to members or educate them and raise awareness in certain fields.
Ladies attend the Centre by walking, public transport, escorted by the family members or by Dial - a -ride service, Community Transport and taxi system.
Some ladies come purely for the reason that they are lonely at home. Coming to the centre gives them an incentive to come out of the house and meet people and socialise with them.
Members suffering from depression have good control of their illness. Care is taken to relieve them of their fears as well. Member coming regularly to the centre have befriended each other and look out for each other. They keep in touch with each other even out of the centre, either by phone or visits
We started having open days at the centre inviting other groups to come and have their get together at the centre. This was to promote our services and also to provide other people with a venue to come together and socialise.
