About WHiST

WHiST is a gender specific organisation, it is run by women for women.

We offer a wide range of support and provision as can be seen in our programme.  Some services such as counselling and group support will help you to deal with difficulties you may be facing, others such as the training courses help to build your confidence and gain new skills.  We also offer physical exercises, complementary therapies and opportunities to socialise and have fun.

We take a holistic approach offering a range of integrated services.  Our holistic approach to health around physical and emotional well being acknowledges the fact that physical and emotional health impact on each other.  You can address all aspects of your health at WHiST.


At WHiST you can put your own package of support together, and you can change it to meet changing needs and circumstance. You can become more involved in the organisation and the wider community by volunteering.


We believe that services should be available to all women regardless of age, ethnic background, disability, sexual orientation or financial considerations.  We work with women experiencing a range of physical and mental health problems, but we also place importance on working with women who are well, in order to help them stay that way.
