Life in a women's refuge is complicated and often chaotic, and our women have shown low levels of self-esteem, confidence and mental well being. The Healthier and Happier project aims to address the above through art, sport and music by bringing it to these families. We have seen the power of culture and sport in previous one-off sessions and saw how it inspired, united and created hope in the women and their children. This funding will help reduce barriers to participation and increase engagement for this disadvantaged audience. Participants will be healthier and happier as a result of taking part in a range of activities, and they will be able to develop a positive outlook on life which will leave long term and lasting benefits on their well being. By bringing activities to this audience through their own channels, staff and community outreach workers will be able to support the women and their young families, to develop their own social networks ensuring that friendships can be created and maintained through being active.

This continuation and expansion of an existing project will deliver information, advice and guidance on an outreach basis to an increased number of women who are suffering or recovering from domestic violence. Project workers will contact women directly, liaise with local agencies and give presentations to community groups.
