Training and wellbeing

A big part of the Angelou Centre’s holistic model of support is our training and wellbeing offer. We are always updating our offer based on the needs of the women and children we support.

Counseling and therapy

We offer a range of counseling and therapeutic activities – either just for you, for you and your children or with a group of survivors.

Training courses

Our training courses help women gain practical skills to become independent. We’re recognised by the National Open College Network (NOCN) and offer accredited trauma-informed classes to help women develop employment-ready confidence.

Group meetings, events and days out

We have weekly group meetings, where Black and minoritised women come together to talk, socialise and support each other.

”I love the parties and the trips for me and my children, they wouldn’t get to make friends and do exciting things like go to the zoo and big museums, on big buses, have picnics, go to the seaside, go to big parties at Christmas and Eid…my children and me have friends here (the Angelou Centre) before we came here I was scared to trust people, I wasn’t allowed to go out by myself… we feel safe around other mothers and children and the staff here. At other refugee and family projects I’ve felt rejected as a single mother because this isn’t accepted in my culture and didn’t feel safe around the men there because of my experiences
