Due to exceptional circumstancès, we were not able to collate feedback from the women in our
nomal way this year, but we asked our volunteers in July 2025 to comment on the impact they
think the charity is having:
rf Being given the languag$ to communicatp and therefore interdct wilh English speaking
people. Community- Help navigating housing, benefits, schools, doctors etG.
O Very much the sooal side. Itgives Ihem the opportunity to mix with friends and meet with
people from different culturès than Iheir own. In our class Ihey appreu8te the freedom to
Converse freely in English. Formany it is the only opportunity they have.
o I think gener811y TWC is a safe and caring space wherp women can socialise and leam
in an encouFBging environment. Often the women dont have a lot of activitie5 available
to them. whether because of childcare commitments or because of money, and they
really apprectate the rouline and the care theyreceive here.
Here are just a few of many messages from the women who have benefited this year.

Fliss. our Centre Manager. noted In October 2024:
Two of the women told me that Ihey now attend the college for class but how they
always say to the Job cellt￿ and college that they prefer TWC. How th$y only teach
them grammar at the college but they felt they leamed so much more at TWC boGause
we taught them how to GommuniGate.°
One of our ESOL studenls me55aged her class WhatsApp group in January 2025:
.1 want to say 'a BIG THANKS" to our teaGhers and to every person who 8re involved in
this work. Thank you for your hard work, your passion for English language and for us,
womenysl Thank you foryour interesting way to teach us, I love to be there, and I love to

We focused on health as the major theme of the Autumn term. as this Is the biggest request
from Ihe women. In the Spring our theme was inspirational women. with shopping as the focus
in the summer tem.
At the end of June Iwo classes at the Hub had a trip to Asda. The pre-entry dass focused on
reading prices. speaking to staff, and using the self-checkout. Asda staff were all very patient
and helpful. The Entry 213 class completed tasks including exchanging an item, getting a
refund. using the self-checkout and using 'scan and go, for the first time. All the women erljoyed
the trip. gaining confidence and at least one new skill.
3. Health workshops
We built on our existing partnèrships this year by piloting a number of health workshops led by
lo¢al health professionals. Most of these were at the Toxlelh Tabemacle after class on Friday.
Two of our women, Hiba and Nazreen, who are Èmefging as leaders, seNed as interpreters
and also suggested topics. These included..
Breast awareness with Lisa from the Women's Health Information and Support Centre
tWHISCI
Conceptionlfertility and childbirth with mldwife Sally, head of Non-English-Speaking
Team [NEST] at Liverpool Women's hospital
Menopause with GP Meg
Dental and oral hèalth with dental nurse Paula
These proved hugety successful. creating a space where the women can ask any questions to
do with women'5 health. Sally was amazed how much more the women asked al the Centre
compared to sessions at the hospital. This led lo her coming for a monthly drop-in, or more
often if there is a need.
In May 2025 our Centre Manager was asked to write an article about the midwife health
workshops for a Liverpool Public Health report, with a view to rolling out the model more widely.
In August 2025 she re￿ived training in Traurna Infomed Care from the Women's hospital. at
their invitation.
4. Donations Room
We continued to receive a large number of donated Items through our growing support ne￿ork,
which includes volunteers, family and friends, churches around Merseyside, the Christian
Fellowship School, and the Motherfs Union. We also re￿iVed donations from loTrl buslnesses
and educational institutions.

TOXTETH WOMEN'S CENTRE
TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31sf AUGUST 2025
In September 2024 we secured significant project funding from Liverpool City Council. The Our
Liverpool grant recognised TVVC as one of the voluntary and community organisations who can
help make the city migrant-friendly. ensuring thal people seeking sanctuary in Liverpool can
thrive from the day they arriv8.
The grant was our biggest ever, at £20,000 per year for three years. For the first time, we had
money to spend on running the Donations Room, which had previously evolved ple￿mea[
since its inception durtng Covid. Most significantly, we created a new part-time post of
Donations Coordlnator.
In December 2024, following a reC￿ltment process geared towards people with lived
experience of the asylum process, we appointed Milena from Ukraine for 16 hours a week.
In her first few weeks in the job. Milena explained:
.1 know well what it is like to be a refugee in another country. And although rhe people
around are friendly and ready to help. it is dfficult and there is a feeling of lonejiness and
h6lplessn&ss. Therefore, TWG is a great support for women who need help. l am happy
to be a part of this by working rn the Donatrons Roorn, where won7en can find the things
Ihey need for the first timo. I hope I can improve this place and make their fwes a little
easier."
A TWC volunteer shared this story..
Two sisters-in4aw arrived who were claiming asylum, one with rheumatoid arthn"tis.
E￿n though it was outside of nomal opening hou￿ I was able to take them to the
donations mom. They seemed tired and anxious and were pushing a toddler in a
borrowed pushchair. It tsnspired that they had walked some distanG& having heard by
word of mouth of the Ghaiity. They were able to leave with a pushchair full of clothing,
bedding etc. They Gould not believe that they oould t8ke as much as they needed ft)r
free. In follow-up, we w8ré able to provide them with a pushohair which was easy lo
push for the mother with arthn'tis, plus Dtheressentials..
Overall, we helped at least 375 women through our donations room. almost all of whom were
claiming asylum or had recenly been granted refugee slalus. At a conservative average
estimate of each woman having 2 family members, this means around 1.125 beneficiaries just
from the donations room. 27 of these were referred to us from NHS health visitors supporting
mums and mum-to-be who are claiming asylum anywhere across Merseyside.
On quits a few occasions, usually after dass on a Wednesday or Friday, we had more than 40
women visiting the room in one session. There were around 1700 'visits' in total. some of which
were deliveries. e.g. to pregnant women who could nol collect heavy items. Belweon January
and June 2025 alone, one of our volunteer drivers made 117 joumeys totalling 891 miles.
collecting and dellvering donaled items all over Liverpool.
5. Pret food delivery
Having starled during Covid, we have now been delivering unsold food from Pret a Manger for
five years, It was lovely that Prel's Christmas window display in LTverpool One featured one of
our amazing volunteers, Eltzabeth.
We just about managed to Sustain three evenings a week thts year. We deliver to a large mixed
asylum hostel on Wednesdays, a smaller family one on Thursdays, and various people in
hotels. homes or other hostels on Fridays. Over the course of the year the list of Friday
recipients inclltded around 20 women, some single. some with families.

Fliss commented-
'This lastyear I have had more messages than everbefore from the women asking if we
are coming. they are so grateful. Occasionally they haveny eaten and are waiting for us
to come, especially wh8n thgy have just moved to a hotel with no cooklng faciljties. Food
insecurity continues to be a massive issue. espeGially for those in the hotels. Pret food
mainly goes to hostels and those in hotels or other temporary housing awaiting beneffts.
Getting baby food/milklnappies etc to families in this situation has also been cmcial."
We prioritised women and children we know lo be in need, but many others also received food.
including men in asylum hostels and homeless hostels. It is difficult to estimate the total number
of beneficiaries. but it must be in the hundreds because between September 2024 and August
2025 we delivered over 10,000 food items, mostly to people in Initial Accommodation hoslets
with a high tumover.
6. Crisis and speclalist support
Our Centre Manager and a small team of volunteers continued to support women and families
through a variety of challenging circumStan￿s. Often this involved helping thern with
papernork but could also mean speaking up on their behalfwith various other agencies.
Support within this year included support for at least 25 women:
Housing Options andlar Property Pool applications (at least 17 women)
evisa applications
Universal Credit applications
Child rnaintenan￿ applications
Registering a child ￿4th a doctor
School foms regarding a speech therapist
School applications {che¢king overl
Making medical appointrnents
A family ffeeing an abusive relationship from the West Midlands
A safeguarding (x)ncem in creche- linking with the child's nursery
A woman needing support through leg?1 proceedings involving her ex-husband
Some case studies:
The lady I helped before the summerto r8POrt her landlord lo the counGiI beGause ofthe mould
in her house. came and thanked me today. She said thp COLfncil have said the house isn¥ fil to
live in and the family are now in temporary acGommodation in 8 hofel. They are now in the fo
band to be rehoused. She s very grateftil that they are finally out of that ljouse. They couldn't
afford any other privately rented house and were previously on a low band to be rehoused by
the GaunGil, so were sluGk there. She had been complaining about the mould for 10 years but
Ihp landlord did nothing." {Sharon, October 20241
'I've helped a couple of womon this year who have been given eviction notices after receiving
their asylum. As they are single without health issues they did not qualify for emergency
accommodation. We srgngd them up for Housing Options. On the day of Iheireviction, they had
not been rehoused so we looked for other options. One lady we were able to get temporary
accommodation through Whilechapel, and the other we were able tts have stay with a lady frtrm
the Ghurch Gongregation.

We helped them both apply ftir Property Pool. An ex8mpJe of how TWC were able to support
women, so they didn? sleep on the stre8t." (Beth, August 20251
"I've been helping Z, the wrfe of an Afghani couple. The husband worked for the British but
missed the flights out and was told to make his way to the UK. He crossed on a boat and was
deemed an illegal and had to Glaim asylum. Z was so womed/scared, I￿e spent 8 lot of time
listening and supportsng her. She would say she has no familyhere 2nd we are her only friends.
I felt I knew about her being ptsgnanl from day one. She had some complications and her
midwife didn¥ follow up something, but I was abl8 to speak to Sally who came to the Tab to
speak to her and then got her midwife to do extra visits. After Sally had spoken to her she held
my hand and hDlding back the tears thanked rTJe for organising that for her, that she was very
hsppy now.
They received their asylum and Ihe b8by was bom June. Milena sorted everything that she
needed for th8 baby. They had to leave fheNr Home Office accommodation in August, Housing
Optrons wouldnt support her unbl they had registered the baby. They were hawng problems
registering the b8hy because they cant SP8ak English, and they dony provide an Inte￿reter.
When they Galled for an appointment, Ihey were told it'd bp a few weeks, when we Called on
theirbehalf. we gol an appointment in 4 daysl
We affanged for an ITrte￿reter over the phone (exactly like Language Llne) and went the

In the momlng for another appointment. l explained the situation (looming homelessness) and
basically refvsod to move from the officel Eventually fhey gave me an appointment for the next
day, as long as the interpreter was in person. The couple were so gralefvl. As soon as we got
th8 document. one of our volunte8rs was lined up to start the Housing Opttons process.
I was starting my annual leave the next day but Z said. 'are you coming fomoffow?, Sh& has a
stutter when she 98ts anxiouslnervous." and she was stutteiing and looked an￿o￿S. I said I

7. Other projects
15th anniversary celebrations - February 2025 - We celebrated with 5 events in 3
days: a party with the ESOL classes at the Hub. then one with ESOL classes al Ihe Tab.
then a supporters. prayer meeting, then an open moming with workshops from the
women (eg speaking Farsi. making Arabic coffee, wearing the hijab), and finally a
fundraising concert with Rock Choir. It was exhausting, but a wonderful celebration of
God's goodness to TWC Ihroughout our first 15 years.
Parties - we held a number of'bring and share, parties for women and ¢hildren. one or
ice a temi. These offered the women a safe space to relax. eat, chat. laugh and dance
together, and gave their children the chance lo enjoy food, crafts and garnes. We we
very grateful to the Chrimes Family Charitable Trust for giving us a gift specifically
t()wards our Light Party, ch￿stmaS Paty and Christmas gifts for the women. A volunteer
commented: "At an end of yearparty, one lady from Sudan said it was an amazing fhing
to be able to take h6r mind off everything going on in her country and hsr wonies for her
family which constantly are yn her mind. A good example of how a community can share
burdens and give her a space ts b￿athe."

Jasmine Garden- thanks to a small number of voluntsers and a few of the women, we
continued to lry to maintsin the space despite the collapsed wall. which has sllll not bee
removed.
8. Responding to spiritual needs
We remained committed to helping women of any and all faiths equally, réspeoting the fact that
while some women wish to ask more about what we believe as ChTislians, others may not. Our
activities woro not primarily evangelistic. but we included very short talks at parttes and events
through the year to mention Ihe significance of various events in the Calendar to Christians leg
Christmas, Easter, Intemational Women's Day).
Our Centre Manager is very relaliottal and responsive, and found that she had many informal
conversations about prayer and faith. as did some of our volunteers.
We remained happy to signpD51 women to local churthes if they wanted to know more about
the Christian faith. or if they werè believers seeking baptism and Chiistian fellowship. Five more
Irdnian women were baptised at the Toxteth TabemaGle, at baptism services in September,
February and June, along with three men who had been wilnessed to by women who attend
TWC.
One of Ihe women testified: °For much of my lrfe I felt trapped in a system that made me
question. I was interested in a relatiorjship with God based on love. not fear. When I
encountered the message of Jesus Ghrist. it was a powerful moment. realising I didnt have to
eam Gods love. I found 8 peace Ihad neverknown before."
The other alluded to great suffering in her past that was difficult to talk about. But then: "I met a
woman at my workplace - th& only person I could trusL She told me stoiies frorn the Bible - it
was like a light was lit in the darkness of rny heart."
9. StaFFing
In De￿rnber 2024 wa were delighted to create a new slaff post of Donations Coordinator
thanks to Ihe funding from Liverpool City Council.
Our Creche Team Leader. Maria, resigned in August 2025 for health reasons. We are hugely
Ihankful for all her worf( for TWC and her continuing efforts as a volunteer.
We continued our 8fforts to find cover for our Centre Manager (particularly crisis and Sp￿la115t
support for the women) to help her switch off more fully during her annual leave. Two
volunteers undertook this responsibility al different times in the year. However. it be￿me clear
that we n8ed to find a more sustainable solution by ernploying a speci81ist.
10. Fundraising
We continued our strenuous efforts to increase our annu21 in¢ome, which grew lo around
£120.000. This enabled us to rebuild our depleted resetves as well as to cover outgoing5.
We received nearly £15,000 in gifts from individuals and groups, including 22 regular
givers and 7 churches. We are delighted tci thank Toxteth Tabernacle. Chrisl Church
Liverpool. West Kirtjy URC, Grace Baptist Southport, Ebenezer Chapel, Grace Church
HalewoDd and Bethany Prenton for their financial support this year.

Christian Fellowship School d-onating funds raised at their Christmas fair, Noah and
Simon's sponsored 'Ride to Raise.. our Rock Choir ¢oncert in February, and ongoing
