Intersectionality Women’s Programmes CIC (IWP) is a survivor-led, trauma-informed further education and empowerment provider. We support women and girls aged 14+ who are rebuilding their lives after domestic abuse, intersectional barriers, hardship, exclusion, or trauma.

​

We deliver accredited qualifications, employability skills, and wellbeing support in safe, community-based spaces helping women move forward into education, employment, and independence at their own pace.

​

What Makes Us Different:

Unlike crisis services, IWP provides what comes next.

We are the bridge between recovery and progression, offering flexible, inclusive learning opportunities to women who are not ready, able, or safe enough to enter mainstream education.

​

Many of our learners have:

• No recourse to public funds

• Survived domestic or sexual abuse

• Experienced homelessness or poverty

• Mental health, disabilities or neurodiversity

• Been isolated by systems that overlooked them.

​​

We meet women where they are and walk with them towards healing, skills, and long-term change.

​

What We Do:

• Deliver City & Guilds-accredited qualifications

• Run employability, healing & wellbeing workshops

• Offer 1:1 coaching and trauma-informed support

• Partner with local authorities, schools, and community orgs

• Provide learning spaces in Bedford, Central Beds, Luton & Herts

 

Our Mission:

To close the gap between healing and independence by giving women access to the education, tools, and space they need to rebuild their lives with confidence, dignity, and purpose.

​

Our Vision:

We believe education should be accessible to all, not just those who’ve survived, but those who are still surviving. Our work is grounded in intersectionality, inclusion, and trust, and every woman who walks through our doors is met with empathy, respect, and belief.
