Shama Women’s Centre came into existence over 38 years ago. Our aim is to empower women to become more active, economically, educationally and socially, through a range of activities to develop their confidence, employability skills, health and wellbeing.
We have helped thousands of women gain confidence, qualifications and employment. With our support, women from marginalised and ethnic minority communities, who might otherwise experience isolation, for instance, due to language and cultural barriers, have become active and valued members of the community.
We are extremely proud of the work we do and the impact we make in the community. Many have become volunteers and ambassadors for the Centre wanting ‘to give back to the community’.
