Natives of the World supports women to have happy, healthy and creative lives, where they feel valued for the contribution they make.

We work with women who have experienced persecution, trauma and inequalities to develop their confidence and increase their skills. Many of the women we work with are navigating the asylum system.

Services for adults:

• Healthy Lives: Whether it's shimmying and shaking or walking and talking our projects support healthy hearts and happy lives.

• Creative Culture: We use creativity to support women to make friends, have fun and improve access to frontline services.

• We Learn: The Afrocats Support Hub upskills women so they can be included and start on the pathway to employment.

• Volunteer: Our volunteering opportunities help women to add vital experience to their CVs and broaden their horizons.
