Who are we?
WHAT’s aim is to increase the physical health and mental wellbeing of women. This is a new initiative that is due to the demand of the female community to improve their overall health but feel that they experience too many barriers to be able to do this.
Supporting this project will improve women’s health, mental health, wellbeing, economic input, family impact, confidence and reduce isolation. It will support and influence women in the area and have an impact on their wider family.
After working closely within the local communities of vulnerable women, WHAT is going to offer something new, work in the heart of these communities, bridge the gap between the activities on offer currently and women attending them or supporting them to see alternative ways to be more active that’s achievable. We will take a holistic approach, work on an individual basis, to gain confidence to take part in activities, try new activities, increase motivate and create routines. To do this we have to work with women’s groups, organisations supporting and women’s centres. We want to attract women that don’t normally attend group sessions and to do this we need to meet with them individually and slowly introduce them to group situations.

Community impact
This project meets the funding prioritises by bringing together and building strong relationships between communities of women that are vulnerable or isolated. Improving their physical health and mental health, been a preventative service or supporting those that are going through a rehabilitation process. This then improves their ability to be involved within the wider community more effectively, build stronger family connections, career options develop and improved lifestyle choices made. This project creates opportunities for them to develop a wide range of skills and confidence. Breaking down the barriers, highlighting the barriers to other organisations, championing and creating change within the local community.
