AGM 29[th] July 2024
Message from the Chairperson Chorley Women’s Centre 29[th] July 2024
I would like to open by thanking our team members who have left our organisation and to welcome those new to Chorley Women’s Centre. Whether you are a volunteer, student, therapist, trustee or manager you are a vital part of our organisation and we could not continue without you.
I would like to especially thank our trustees who have stepped down, including Sue Collins, Lynda Gallagher and Wendy Mathers.
Chorley Women’s Centre has grown in strength and resilience in the twelve months since I have taken on the role of chairperson.
We have experienced an especially challenging year however I have been impressed by the hard work and fortitude of our team. We are undergoing significant changes to our organisation including new systems and ways of working.
This is our 40[th] year and it has been an honour and a privilege to be part of continuing to offer the women of Chorley and South Ribble a supportive, empathic and kind service.
I would also like to thank our funding partners for their continued support.
Particular highlights for me include
-
Our successful national lottery bid which secured our future for the next five years. I am incredibly proud of Emma Fisher who took the lead on this supported by Lydia Keighley and Emma Simpson. Their application was outstanding and proved that we should be ambitious in our goals.
-
Training from Lancs LGBT which helped us make our services even more welcoming and accessible.
-
Investing in repairs to our building and improving our outside space and communal areas (much of the work carried out after the end of April, the timeframe of this report – but this is an ongoing process).
-
Offering community workshops and activities, working with other organisations and providers which have proven a huge success.
-
Being chosen as named charity for Adlington Carnival 2024.
-
Our first multi team training day which was an incredible way to share ideas, work on our strengths and areas for improvement and for our therapeutic and centre teams to get to know each other. It was at this team day that we focussed in on our core values for Chorley Women’s Centre.

I would like to thank our counselling team for providing our service users with an outstanding therapeutic service and thank our co-ordination team for their hard work, patience and resilience. Their combined professionalism, experience and commitment is truly impressive.
I would also like to thank our centre team, led by Jackie Moss, who have welcomed our service users with kindness and empathy and provided a much-needed safe haven for the women of Chorley and South Ribble. In addition, I would like to thank Sue Bell for stepping into the role of training mentor.
I am particularly excited for our upcoming Summer Ball celebrating our 40[th] Year. This is set to be a fantastic party and a way for us and our community to celebrate our achievements, both past and present.
Our plans for the next year include;
-
Delivering more community outreach projects
-
Offering more workshops supporting mental health
-
Growing and developing our team
-
Continuing to support both the women of Chorley and South Ribble in our centre and the wider community

AGM 29[th] July 2024
Centre Manager’s Report
This year the Centre has continued to move forward at a steady and positive pace. The Centre continues to be open 2 days a week, Tuesday 10-3, Friday 10-3 offering support to ladies of Chorley and the surrounding boroughs and South Ribble.
The Centre continues to support women (and indirectly their families), including some of the most vulnerable. Throughout the year we have seen 388 ladies through the doors of the centre. This overall figure is inclusive of returning and new clients. Approximately 74% of the ladies have been new clients to the centre. Approximately 23% of clients have returned to the centre to access further services.
We have 8 volunteers who have been absolutely incredible throughout the year, they all continue to give their time freely so we can continue to provide support to the women of Chorley, South Ribble, and surrounding areas.
We rely on volunteers to provide a supportive welcoming and friendly setting. The volunteer’s gain quality training, life and work skills which promote their own self development and confidence, and we are extremely grateful for the hard work and dedication that every single volunteer brings to the centre. It is not an over-statement to say that the centre would not be able to operate without them, to continue to provide help and support to those in need and to continue the legacy and ethos of the Women’s centre in a positive way. I for one am extremely grateful for their support, hard work, and dedication.
Towards the end of year, we were hit with some challenges to our staff, myself included. I was off for a significant period of time due to unforeseen health issues.
Alongside this a couple of the volunteers also came up with challenges of their own.
And I personally would like to thank Rebecca, our current chairperson, for standing in for me and being our manager and for the members of our amazing team who covered in the centre, to allow us to remain open as often as we were able and those who lent a helping hand at our events when it was required. I could not have left the centre in better hands. So, thank you all so much for your support and patience in a very difficult and challenging time.
We made it through a very unprecedented time, and I feel we are going from strength and strength. Working towards more support and increasing our platform of what we can offer to the community and doing it with an amazing team. I for one am excited to see the direction the centre will take in the coming year. Here is to 2024-2025. Celebrating our 40[th] year of this wonderful centre we are all a part of.
Throughout this period of time, we introduced Croner HR to assist us with operational HR. They provide advice on UK employment law which is required for all businesses. So, this is a welcome addition to have on hand.

AGM 29[th] July 2024
We continue to provide our one-to-one service; this is a valuable service we offer to ladies who often are in crisis. Ladies can utilise this service as a first point of contact, a means to offload, and to have someone to listen to their struggles without fear of judgement.
During one-to-ones, the women receive not only emotional support but also, general and health related information, signposting to an appropriate statutory, local, and voluntary service, if required. We also provide referrals into these services if and when required.
Throughout this year we have offered over fifty-five one-to-ones to ladies in need.
We also continue to provide our drop-in service, where ladies can come in for a cup of tea or coffee and meet ladies going through similar situations to them, build friendships/gain useful insights and share experiences. The volunteers are all trained in supportive listening skills and are encouraged to utilise these when women drop in needing a listening supportive ear.
Throughout the year we have had 295 ladies access our drop-in service.
We launched a new Menopause support group in Bamber Bridge, working alongside Sam Jones at South Ribble Borough Council. This was temporarily placed on hold due to reasons beyond our control. We are hopeful of restarting this in the coming year, alongside our Menopause support group that we offer here at the centre.
We raised funds for the centre by organising time with Lucia at Asda in Chorley, our Christmas and easter bingo events, which were well received by the community. We have also been able to attend health and wellbeing fairs around the county which have been great networking experiences. We have been linking in with different organisations to promote the centre and introduce new and exciting wellbeing sessions across the community.
Along side all of this we continue with our other support such as:
Legal advice
At the centre, we are in contact with two local solicitors who specialise in family law. This information is available upon request, by those in need. Ladies who contact them gain a 30minute free consultation and can also gain access to useful knowledge from an experienced professional. We have provided these details for eleven ladies accessing the centre.
Our Weekly relaxation sessions were temporarily placed on hold due to unforeseen circumstances; however, these now continue to run and are well attended.
The ladies utilising this service all say they find it immensely beneficial. It is a fantastic service we can offer to the ladies we support. Reiki is also offered alongside relaxation by appointment. twenty-five ladies have accessed our relaxation session and 26 ladies have attended reiki.

please note that all figures are approximate as we do not keep full records and ladies can access the centre for more than one reason
We continue to offer free Counselling to women, and we can now extend that service out across all genders, which is absolutely incredible. All three services are steadily growing and without our fabulous team of counsellors this would not be possible. We have also been able to accept three student placements and we look forward to supporting them in their journey to becoming a fully qualified therapist.
Massive thank you to all involved and to Emma and Lydia our counselling co-ordinators and to Nina our student mentoring lead, for their continued support and hard work.
We have been able to offer the service via telephone, zoom and face-to-face sessions. This is providing our clients a range of options to avoid missing out on such an amazing service. We continue to have a steady stream of clients who are referred into the centre to access this service.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the continued help and support I have received throughout the past year. It has been a bit of a challenging year for me due to personal circumstances; however, I feel we have and are achieving new things. We continue to support and grow together. The support shown and received by all has been very welcoming and appreciated. I look forward to continuing the journey and moving the centre forward in a positive way.

AGM 29[th] July 2024
Counselling Services Report
May 2023 – April 2024
Chorley Women’s Centre counselling services encompass:
Circle - Our specialist Domestic Abuse Counselling service
Release - Our Counselling service for those recovering from Rape, sexual abuse and sexual assault including historical abuse
General – Our General counselling services for all other issues
Our services are open to both men and women, but men are seen either remotely or at a different venue as the Women’s Centre is a Women only space.
Our Year
We ended this year in a much better place than we began; the previous year had presented many operational, staffing and budgeting challenges but much has been learned from the process of overcoming these. There has continued to be an increased demand across all services over the last year. There is a steady stream of referrals via the Women’s Centre, NHS, Social Prescribing, Victim Services, Children’s Services, Home Start and Schools. The variety of referring agencies indicates the breadth of presenting issues that bring people to our service. We have also this year introduced an online referral form for self-referral via our website which has made the self-referral process more accessible.
We also took part in a trial of a new digital offering to compliment our counselling services, The Get Out Get Love Program (GOGL) was offered to eligible clients to support them in their recovery from Domestic Abuse. This is a self-paced program, accessed on line, with a positive focus on self-care and self-compassion. After a successful trial, we are pleased to be able to offer this program to Centre and counselling clients over the next twelve months.
We have expanded our offering of available times for counselling to offer ‘twilight’ sessions on a Monday which many clients access after work. These late afternoon and early evening sessions have proved to be very much in demand.
The Team
These high quality, trauma informed services are supported by Emma Fisher and Lydia Keighley as Joint Service Coordinators, Nina Powell as Student Mentor and our team of 10 counsellors and 1 student counsellor. Our services exist under the wider umbrella of the
7
Reg. Charity: 700446 www.chorleywomenscentre.com
AGM 29[th] July 2024
Women’s Centre which mean we can offer wrap around support to our clients while they wait for sessions, when sessions have finished and if they should need support between sessions. We are very grateful to the Centre manager Jackie and her team of volunteers who offer this additional support and continue to refer many women into our services, and to all of those that supported the Centre in Jackie’s absence.
A huge thank you to our team of counsellors who continue to go above and beyond in supporting our clients and each other, Emma and I continue to be so grateful for your whole hearted commitment to our work.
Funding for Counselling
Counselling services are funded by a combination of funding sources from Chorley Borough Council, The National Lottery Fund and VCSFE, who all contribute to the running of these services. We extend thanks to all those who are funding us to continue to run this valuable and much need service.
The search for funding for all of our services, especially currently Circle (due to some core funding coming to an end) is ongoing. The funding landscape is changing and funding is harder to find and access, our aim is sustainable and longer-term support to offer us security for the future. The 5-year National Lottery funding project is a great springboard for this.
Training and development
The team have accessed a number of training and development opportunities this year. In September we held a Counselling Team Day which consisted of planning and development for the future, as well as self-care activities, including a relaxing sound bath. Other training includes training by Victim Focus on the Trauma informed approach and in-house sharing of knowledge on a variety of topics including Neurodivergence. We wish to extend our thanks to the management committee for supporting opportunities for training and development.

‘I have gained so much knowledge about myself from doing these sessions. I am understanding how to deal with situations better and understand more of me and what I want in my life.

We have hosted more events and workshops than ever before, broadening our reach and impact within the community. Our efforts have been recognised and rewarded with the highest funding grant in our history, ensuring our operations are secured for the next five years.

Packed with essentials such as snoods, gloves, socks, lip balm, hand warmers, throat sweets, soup, hot chocolate, and hand cream, each box aims to provide comfort and warmth. Notably, the boxes for the Refuge, contained a special gift for children and a comprehensive list of warm spaces in Chorley.

These will include Neurodiversity, bereavement and mindfulness. As a well-known beacon of support for women for forty years, we will be investing some of the grant in maintenance of our building, securing another forty years of amazing service.
