"We are not a crisis service, we are what comes next.” - Intersectionality Women’s Programmes CIC
​
IWP is a survivor-led further education and empowerment provider.
We support women and girls aged 14+ who are rebuilding their lives after domestic abuse, hardship, exclusion, or trauma.
​
Our programmes are designed for those who are often overlooked:
women with no recourse to public funds, neurodiverse women (including ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and Asperger’s), disabled women, those facing layered barriers or who've been overlooked by traditional services.​
These groups face a significantly higher risk of abuse for example, 19.1% of people with neurodiversity report experiencing domestic abuse, the highest rate among all disability groups (ONS, 2021).
​
We offer a safe, inclusive space where learning, confidence, and healing come together.
​
We welcome referrals from professionals, partner organisations, and individuals. Once we receive your referral, a member of our team will contact you to arrange a short phone call, a chance for you to ask questions and for us to understand what support you might need.
​
If IWP is the right fit, we’ll invite you to an in-person meeting where we’ll co-design the next steps in your journey. Whether you're ready to gain qualifications, build skills, or just need a safe place to start again, we’re here to walk with you.
​
Every step is handled with care, dignity, and confidentiality.
