It isn’t always easy managing a women’s community resource with the challenges we have had. However, since starting up almost four years ago, we are still here and still making a significant difference to women with multiple and complex needs. This year we have shown our resilience and determination to survive. We have managed to stay buoyant with relatively tiny funding grants, and have had to deal with a dishonest, malicious and anonymous complaint. We have coped with a wonderful core trio of committed women Directors who have worked together with our new Project Lead to show that we work to high professional standards, have robust safeguarding processes and policies in place, and can answer any query, however nefariously made, concerning our operations or care for our women and their families. Cohort 4 has triumphed during 2017!
