Tameside Women and Families Centre

Tameside Women and their Families Centre focuses on supporting women and their families. The service also contributes to reducing re-offending, ensuring offenders complete their community orders and licenses. The overall aim is to develop better health and wellbeing for women and their families in Tameside by working with local partners to provide a varied programme of sessions, including: childbirth and parenting, personal development and employment, volunteering opportunities, surviving and recovering from domestic abuse, dealing with mental health issues, alcohol and substance misuse, struggling with life’s challenges, physical and emotional wellbeing, debt, housing and finances.

A Custody Triage Service is also available to females when in custody, (Either in local police station or HMP). This service looks to enable assessment and referral to external agencies.

Primarily we seek to facilitate diversion out of the criminal justice system and facilitate rapid access to help or support- especially in a crisis situation.
