A CHARITY that provides vital face to face support for women in Winsford is still reaching those in need in a new way.

Motherwell Cheshire provides a range of services for women and girls to promote health and wellbeing.

A team of women from the local community offer mums educational services, holistic therapies and mental health support.

No two motherhood journeys are the same.

Motherwell is proud to support each and every mum on their own unique motherhood path.

Specialist services from counselling and mentoring to peer support groups and workshops, empower mum’s emotional health and wellbeing

From mums-to-be and new mums, to mums and grans with children who are fully grown, everyone is welcome at Motherwell.

Their week usually comprises of group sessions including walking groups, drop-in sessions, wellbeing days and 1:1 counselling.

However, during these unprecedented times these activities have had to stop leaving a lot of women self-isolating but continuing to struggle with their mental health.

Motherwell has adapted their services during the Covid-19 pandemic so that they are able to continue to fulfil their objectives.

Kate Blakemore, of founder and chief executive of Motherwell Cheshire said: “The women that we support face-to-face on a day-to-day basic still very much need our support. We have therefore put in place a number of special measures to ensure that Motherwell Cheshire is still accessible for our clients.

"We are keeping everyone up to date through our social media channels and activities are constantly being developed to meet the needs of the women in Cheshire."
