OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Women's Health and Information Services Centre IWHISC) is a voluntary organization that
originated in 1984 through the initiative of women from Vauxhall, Liverpool. Their aim was to
empower women with knowledge and information to take charge of their health and well-being.
Over the past four decades, WHISC has been instrumental in supporting thousands of women
and their families, helping them overcome challenges and enhance their lives.
Primarily led by volunteers, WHISC operates with the assistance of a small core team of paid
staff. Together, they offer a wide array of women's health services, including complementary
therapies, self-help resources, and educational classes on physical and mental well-being. Our
mission is to empower women to lead healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Beyond our Liverpool city centre hub, we extend our services through outreach activities to
various women's community groups across Liverpool, particularly those that are of minority and
underrepresented, recognising the intersectional experiences of the women we support across
Liverpool.
WHISC Vision. Mission and Values
At the heart of what we do is our belief that all Women and girls, regardless of their ethnicity,
religion, age should be respected and thrive in an environment where information and support
is accessible.
Our Vision Statement: Helping women to thrive.
Our Mission Statement: Empowering women in the Liverpool City Region with knowledge
and person-centred support to become the best version of themselves.
Our Values: At WHISC, our values are the cornerstone of our organization. We understand
that reaching out for help can be challenging, which is why empowering women to thrive lies at
the core of all our endeavours.
WHISC plays an integral role in the health and care system throughout Liverpool and the wider
Merseyside regions, providing accessible support and information to women facing diverse
needs. From women's health and well-being to mental health, trauma, isolation, and poverty,
WHISC addresses a broad spectrum of concerns. Women can ac￿SS WHISC'S support and

WHISC Data Assets
Over the past four decades, WHISC has amassed extensive knowledge, infomiation, and data,
significantly enhancing the support services and programs available to address the complex
challenges faced by women in Liverpool. Our profound understanding of the often-struggling
health and care system, combined with our reliable network of partner organizations, positions
WHISC as a crucial support system for many vulnerable women.
In the past year alone, our dedicated staff and volunteers have provided over 5,000 hours of
support and services to women, many of whom are vulnerable and in urgent need of
assistance and intervention.
A key asset of WHISC is our City Centre hub, which offers a psychological and emotional safe
space exclusively for women. Here, women can access a range of support services through
both drop-ins and appointments, ensuring they receive the help they need in a secure and
supportive environment.
Public Benefit
In considering the objectives and activities, the Trustees have considered Charity Commission
guidance on Public Benefit to ensure that the charitable company is meeting its Public Benefit
requirements.
Here are the key benefits:
1. Health Education and Information:
WHISC provides comprehensive health education and information services, helping women to
make informed decisions about their health. This includes providing up-to-date information on
various health issues, treatments, and preventative measures.
2. Support Services:
The centre offers emotional and practical financial support to women dealing with health
issues, personal challenges, or crises. This support can include support groups and one-on-
one sessions, helping women navigate difficult times and improve their mental health.
3. Empowerment and Advocacy:
WHISC empowers women by advocating for their health rights and promoting gender equality.
The centre raises awareness about women's health issues, campaigns for better health
policies, and works to eliminate disparities in health care access.
4. Community Outreach and Engagement:

WOMEN'S HEALTH INFORMATION SUPPORT CENTRE LIMITED
TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
The centre engages with the community to provide outreach programs that reach women who
might not otherwise have access to health services. This can include workshops, seminars,
and health fairs aimed at educating and supporting women in various communities.
5. Holistic Health Approach:
WHISC adopts a holistic approach to women's health, addressing not just physical health, but
also mental, emotional, and social well-being. This comprehensive approach ensures that all
aspects of a woman's health are considered and supported.
6. Support for Marginalized Groups:
The centre often focuses on providing services to Women who experience Health Inequalities
and vulnerable groups, including minority communities, refugees, and low-income women. By
offering tailored support to these groups, WHISC helps to reduce health inequalities and
ensure that all women have access to necessary health resources.
Changes in Service Demand
Our services are in higher demand than ever. especially among vulnerable women facing
barriers to mainstream services, which are also under resourced. The increased complexity of
needs has impacted safeguarding and casework capacity. We've improved representation on
local health boards to advocate for women with complex needs and adapt our service model to
maintain effectiveness and safety
WHISC'S Response to a Year of Uncertainty and Change
Over the past year, WHISC has navigated a period of significant uncertainty and external
challenges. The combination of a fragile funding landscape, the shrinking of available financial
resources, and the realization that the current Bold Street premises are no longer fit for
purpose has presented WHISC with numerous obstacles. Despite these challenges, the charity
has demonstrated resilience and a proactive approach in its efforts to adapt and continue
serving its community.
Adapting to a Shrinking Funding Environment
One of the most pressing challenges faced by WHISC in the past year has been the
contraction of funding opportunities. A combination of macroeconomic factors, shifting
governmental priorities, and an increasingly competitive funding landscape has led to a
reduction in available grants and donations. In response, WHISC has strategically diversified
its funding base, seeking alternative sources such as corporate partnerships, community
fundraising, and innovative social impact initiatives. This diversification has been critical in
ensuring that WHISC continues to provide vital services to women and marginalized
communities, despite the tightening financial climate.
Additionally, WHISC has invested in strengthening its relationships with key stakeholders,
including local businesses, community groups, and governmental bodies. By fostering a
collaborative approach, WHISC has been able to leverage local support, mobilise resources,
and maintain its operations despite financial pressures.
Relocatlon and Future Sustainability
The need to relocate from the current Bold Street premises has been another pivotal challenge
for WHISC over the past year. The premises, which have served as the charity's base for many
years, are no longer considered suitable for the organisation's evolving needs. Issues such as
limited capacity, inadequate space for growing programs, and rising maintenance costs have
made it clear that a new location is essential for the charity's long-term sustainability.
After careful assessment and planning, WHISC has identified a suitable new location, and
plans are in place to relocate in June 2025. This move will not only provide the charity with a

WOMEN'S HEALTH INFORMATION SUPPORT CENTRE LIMITED
TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
more capacity and functional space bul also enhance its ability to expand its services and
improve the quality of care and support provided to the women and families who rely on its
services. The relocation is seen as a critical step in WHISC'S long-term vision, ensuring that
the charity can continue to meet the needs of its community in an ever-changing external
environment.
Moving Forward: Resilience and Growth
As WHISC prepares for the challenges and opportunities of the upcoming relocation, it remains
focused on its core mission: supporting women with the information, advice, and services they
need to lead healthier and more empowered lives. The charity's ability to navigate uncertainty
over the past year and plan for a successful move in 2025 highlights its resilience and
commitment to its cause.
In the coming months, WHISC will continue to engage with its community, donors, and
partners to ensure that the transition to the new premises is seamless and that its programs
remain robust and responsive to the needs of those it serves. While the journey has been
marked by obstacles, WHISC'S unwavering dedication to its mission provides a solid
foundation for future growth and impact.
