Foleshill Womens Training successfully received funding from the Coventry University and Coventry 4 Good grant scheme (Round 1) to support their Wellbeing Workshops.
Christine McNaught & Sheridan Henderson reported below:
"The project began at the end of September 2015. So far we have delivered 40 themed ‘Wellbeing workshops’ (coffee mornings) every Wednesday at the Hillfields Hub, and Friday mornings at FWT.
The workshops have been designed with innovative and differing themes each week/month, to keep attendees interested, and to enable women to develop their skills continuously whilst beginning to tackle health inequalities and confidence issues.
Since September 2015, 15 new women have been engaged and are regularly attending the Hillfields Hub Workshops. The women were isolated, hard to reach, and these coffee mornings enabled them to take their first steps forward on their pathways. 25 new women have attended the FWT workshops, with a further 15 attending who were previously engaged. We have delivered additional Wellbeing workshop activities for Coventry Peace Festival which welcomed a further 12 women to the programme."
