Charity Together for Mental Wellbeing (NHS Berkshire Healthcare) organised a sharing circle for women who use the centre, along with arts and crafts activities and spa treatments.

Maggie, a service user who came along to the event, said:
“This was my second visit to the women’s centre, which I find such a warm and welcoming place to be. I travelled an hour after finishing my night shift, to go to the event but I didn’t want to miss it! And it was certainly worth it.”
Zahra Akhtar, from Together for Mental Wellbeing, said:
“The event went brilliantly, and we were so pleased with the interaction from the women that attended. Two women came up to us after the presentation and shared their personal experiences of struggles with managing emotions. One also said that the event had given her hope in believing that she would be able to gain employment and present a workshop herself one day!”
