"Without an ID or a phone, I might as well be a ghost."

For many women leaving prison, starting again means starting with nothing.

No phone. No ID. No way to access support, find work, or even reconnect with loved ones.

When Sammy left prison, Lancashire Women helped her take those first vital steps - giving her a phone and an ID card so she could begin to rebuild her life with confidence and independence.

These small essentials make a huge difference. They’re the bridge between isolation and opportunity.

This week, your donation could help us support more women like Sammy by giving them the tools to restart, reconnect, and rebuild.

Donate before 12pm on Wednesday 15th October and your donation amount will be doubled: https://donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS000004cTrWYAU

“If it wasn’t for all the help from you and all the staff at Lancashire Women, I don’t think I’d be where I am today. I genuinely believe I’d probably still be on the streets, using, or back in prison.”

This is the real impact your support can have.

When a woman leaves prison with nothing, your donation helps her find stability, safety, and hope again. Providing essentials like food, clothing, toiletries, and phones so she can take those first steps toward a fresh start.

And right now, your gift can go twice as far.

Every £1 donated to our Big Give campaign will be match funded, doubling your impact at no extra cost to you.

🧡 £1 becomes £2
🧡 £10 becomes £20

Help us continue changing lives. One woman, one fresh start at a time.

🌟 AGM 2025: Reflecting, Celebrating and Looking Ahead 🌟

Thank you to all our colleagues, volunteers, partners and other stakeholders who joined us for our Annual General Meeting last night. Your engagement and insights are vital to our continued growth.

As we mark our 40th anniversary this year, it was especially meaningful to reflect on the journey we’ve taken together.

We explored key themes including strategic development, community impact, and the power of lived experience. A heartfelt thank you to those who shared their stories - your voices continue to shape our direction and inspire our mission.

As we look ahead, we remain committed to driving positive change for women across Lancashire 🩵

When women leave prison, many start over with nothing.

No food, no toiletries, no change of clothes, and often no phone to reach out for help. It’s an incredibly vulnerable time and without the right support, it’s easy to feel lost.

You can help change that. Every donation helps us provide the basic essentials women need for a safe, fresh start. Things like food, clothing, toiletries, and phones with data so they can stay connected and supported.

And right now, every pound you give will be match funded, meaning your donation will go twice as far at no extra cost to you.

Please donate today: https://donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS000004cTrWYAU

🚨FROM 12PM TODAY UNTIL 15TH OCTOBER, YOUR DONATION WILL HAVE DOUBLE THE IMPACT! 🚨

When women leave prison, many walk out with nothing. No food, toiletries, clothing, or even a phone to call for support. Without help, it’s easy to feel lost and slip back into old cycles.
Your donation can change that.

By giving today, you’ll help us provide essentials like food, clothing, toiletries, and phones to women taking their first steps back into the community. Every £1 donated will be match funded, meaning that your donation will be doubled (at no extra cost to you!)

£1 👉£2
£5 👉£10
£10 👉£20

Please help us fund these basic essentials by donating today (Our match fund campaign will be open from today October 8th at 12:00pm until October 15th at 12:00pm)
