**Director Lisa Dando said:** *“This is a big year for us. I doubt the women who set up Brighton Women’s Centre all those years ago could have predicted that we would have achieved so much over the the past years.*

*“We’re needed now more than ever, with women calling in for advice, counselling, childcare, support and even food parcels in far greater numbers.*

*“We couldn’t do all that we do without the help of so many wonderful local supporters. We invite everyone to come along to find out about our work and why it’s so important.”*

Brighton Women’s Centre (BWC) was first established in the city in 1974 to help women in the city with counselling, local information and a safe space. Since then the organisation has seen many changes including opening a crèche and at one point finding themselves homeless. However BWC is going from strength to strength, recently expanding to a second location near St Peter’s Church and developing services beyond Brighton and Hove into East and West Sussex.
