Young Women's Services
The majority of WEB’s Young Women’s Services run from 10-12 Bentinck Street in Birkenhead and are run by a friendly team of staff and volunteers. In order to access any of our services, you must first receive a one to one welcome session, please click herefor a referral form. Once we have received this we will contact you to arrange a welcome session.
We offer several services for young women from age 13 upwards including:
The young Women's Harmony Hub
Coming Soon!
The Young Women’s Harmony Hub for 13-16 year olds.
Following a huge demand for our young women’s service to be reinstated we have actively sought funding to make this possible.
Young women have been part of creating the blue print for their own Harmony Hub and we are excited to see it become reality.
What will the Harmony Hub Do
The Young Women’s Harmony Hub will be a safe, welcoming space where young women can feel comfortable, heard, valued, and supported. It’s somewhere they can show up as they are and access help that works for them. We will offer listening appointments, trauma-informed support, group sessions, and personal development activities focused on building confidence, self-esteem, wellbeing, and life skills. Everything we do is about supporting our young women feel stronger, less isolated, and more hopeful about what’s next.
We also deliver a 60-hour experiential trauma-informed programme for young women aged 13–16 who have experienced domestic abuse, crime and/or poverty, alongside one-to-one coaching and ongoing personal development support. Young women who access this course can go on to access the Young Women’s Harmony Hub and continue with their recovery in trauma and further personal development.
Who is the Young Women’s Harmony Hub For?
Our target cohort is young women 13-16yrs, who have experienced anxiety, mental health, domestic abuse and societal violence. Who feel isolated, are neurodivergent, lack confidence and have low self-esteem.

The Reading Womb
Funded by the Cheshire & Merseyside Women & Children’s Services Partnership, “The Reading Womb” is a programme supporting women who are 12 weeks or more pregnant and struggling with their mental health.
Research has shown that people who join in shared reading groups experience an improvement in their mental health, have improved levels of concentration, have a better emotional understanding and are better able to discuss meaningful issues about themselves.
If you are struggling,why not join us for a relaxing supportive session enjoying shared reading of stories specifically for you to connect with other pregnant women, to feel good and to live well. There will be good conversation and refreshments and we will also have a chance to read to your baby.

WEB's Sunshine Prescription and Soul Food Sessions
WEB’s Women’s Sunshine Prescription Service enables women from a variety of backgrounds to come along to the centre and experience a safe, non-judgemental space in which to come together with other women, have fun and learn new skills. Our Sunshine Prescriptions and ‘Soul Food’ projects mean all activities are designed to give people a boost to their confidence and overall emotional well-being. Activities can include anything from arts and crafts, to a trip out to the cinema, to aromatherapy massage. On alternative weeks, we run our mini-training sessions which allow the women to have a taste of some of the more in depth training we offer, such as learning about mindfulness, stress management, the importance of gratitude etc.
In partnership with:
Trauma and Bereavement Training
Designed for both men and women who have experienced bereavement and loss through trauma related events. The exploration and healing process will take place through ‘experiential’ programme of support using a mixture of therapeutic arts, sand play, music, poetry, and meditation. This course focuses on the ‘healing of the trauma’ as opposed to ‘replaying the trauma’. WEB’s Bereavement & Trauma workshops is accessible to all who have suffered bereavement and loss by violence, crime, and suicide related deaths and losses. Also, individuals who may have been through the ‘trauma of being removed from their families and communities and who have been through the care system’ (we recognise some of those losses may also be through long term imprisonments). At WEB, we recognise that the impact of trauma is devastating and far reaching, affecting individuals, whole families, and often the wider community. This therapeutic and experiential workshop will work at the pace of each ‘individual’ as we realise each healing journey is unique to each individual. This healing workshop will be facilitated by experienced and qualified counsellors who are trained in ‘working creatively with trauma’.
