Women’s Service
We opened the doors to our Southwark centre in November 2017, and our Lewisham centre in October 2018.
The Southwark and Lewisham Women’s Hubs offer safe, welcoming, one-stop-shop support for those affected by the criminal justice system, and for women seeking support, information, and community.
Our aim is to provide gender-specific and personalised support, helping to equip women with the tools and resources to address their needs in a relaxed and welcoming space.
What We Offer
We provide a holistic range of support, including:
- 1:1 advocacy and support
- Co-located services
- Information, support and signposting
- Workshops and activities
- Shared monthly meals

Voices from the Frontline
“We want to be respected. We want to be heard.”
Supported by ROSA UK’s Voices from the Frontline fund, this new film from Agenda Alliance centres the stories of two women, Charlie and Ola, who share insight into the challenges they have faced when seeking support, and amplifies their calls for change.
The film highlights the routine silencing of women and girls by the professionals and services they are expected to rely upon, as well as the cycle of harm that often occurs when women do not receive the right support at the right time. Co-produced with Agenda’s alliance members and women who have experienced multiple forms of disadvantage, the concept was developed with two groups of women, one based in Lancashire and one based in Peckham, London.

Bereket Food at the Hub Lunch
At our May Monthly Hub Lunch we welcomed Bereket Food, which specialises in Turkmen Cuisine, (www.instagram.com/bereketfood_uk) and they provided an amazing spread. We discovered Guncha and her company Bereket Food via Migrateful, which is an organisation that runs cookery classes led by refugees, asylum seekers and migrants struggling to integrate and access employment. Their mission is to empower and celebrate refugees and vulnerable migrants on their journey to integration, by supporting them to run their own cookery classes.

Slipping through the cracks
This month our main feature is written by Cat Millar, Women’s Service Manager. Cat and her team wanted to raise awareness on borderline personality disorder (BPD), as ‘The RCP* estimates that at least one person in 20 are currently living with a personality disorder, and 75% of those diagnosed with BPD are women.’
