She's Ready- Peer Led Support Group

Elim, Together at Matson and Gloucester Communities have been delivering an exciting new group for female Residents aimed at #empoweringwomen and unlocking their potential. The group titled ‘She’s Ready’ Is a free resource that provides Residents with training support and motivation to achieve goals set out in the peer led group. Participants have been meeting weekly since January and have been busy planning activities, sharing past experiences and discussing future goals in a confidential space.

Although the individuals are working towards their own aspirations, it has become clear that the group share some common interests and goals, enabling the group to stay together.

Women’s football was something everyone wanted to try so Taylor House’s Supported Housing Officer Matt agreed to run a women’s 5 aside football club held at the Redwell Centre which kicked off last week. As well as Football, the participants are also planning to practice weekly Yoga and Mindfulness sessions, also located at the Redwell Centre.

Stacey Wilkins, Team Lead at Taylor House has said, ‘What a fantastic start to the year, we are all very excited to see where else this group will go. Residents are supporting each other to achieve and it is excellent that they will be able to continue attending ‘She’s Ready’ even after they have successfully moved on from Elim’s services’.
