📚 Back to School: A New Chapter – You’re Not Alone 💜

As the summer holidays come to a close and children prepare to go back to school, we know this time can bring a mix of emotions for many families.

For some, it offers a small window of breathing space. For others, it can feel overwhelming, or bring extra things to worry about, especially if you're living with or recovering from domestic abuse.

You are not alone.

Whether you're looking for emotional support, practical advice, or just someone to talk to—we’re here for you. This new school year can be a fresh start, and we're here to help you take the next step safely and at your own pace.

We offer free and confidential support to anyone affected by domestic abuse living in Calderdale.

The UK government is testing the Emergency Alerts system on Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm.

Compatible mobile phones and tablets will receive an alert, make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate. You will not need to take any action.

The Emergency Alerts system is used to warn if there’s a danger to life
nearby, including extreme weather. Regular testing ensures the system is
functioning correctly.

Back in June, at our CFFC event hosted at Harveys of Halifax, we talked about how vital it is to support our town’s only independent department store. Out of that came this simple idea: let’s go back, enjoy lunch, do a bit of shopping, and show some support.

Lunch & Shopping at Harveys
📅 Thursday 4 September, 1–3pm
📍 Harveys of Halifax (head to the top floor to claim your vouchers)

This isn’t a networking event. Just a relaxed couple of hours to browse, chat, and treat yourself while backing a family-run Halifax landmark.

Exclusive for our group:

10% off anywhere in-store

50% off food and drink in the restaurant

Everyone’s welcome – members, non-members, friends, colleagues.

RSVP here so we can sort the catering:

🏊‍♀️💪 40 for 40! Our CEO’s Sponsored Swim Challenge 💜🎉

To mark 40 years of WomenCentre, our amazing CEO Angela is diving into a bold challenge — swimming 40 lengths, 40 times, to help us raise £75,000 in support of the vital work we do. 🙌

She’s already halfway there, with 20 swims completed and a personal pledge to donate £4 for every 40-length swim — that’s £160 plus Gift Aid from her own pocket!

Help us celebrate 40 years of impact by supporting this incredible effort — every donation, cheer, and share helps us get closer to our goal!

🌐 https://localgiving.org/fundraising/Swimming-for-Women

£65 raised can pay for a taxi for a women and her family fleeing to a domestic abuse refuge out of area
£30 raised will enable us to provide out of pocket expenses for 3 volunteers who facilitate our support groups
