WOMANLEIGH:

EMPOWERMENT THROUGH EXAMPLE

WHO ARE WE

WOMANLEIGH CIC is a not-for-profit community interest company supporting women in the local Leigh area.

We support women through peer-led gatherings, practical workshops, and emotional wellbeing activities to help women feel connected, confident and heard.

OUR MISSION

At WomanLeigh, we believe true empowerment begins within. We don’t preach from a pedestal—we live our values every day and invite others to do the same. By modeling harmony, courage, and healing in our own lives, we create a magnetic community where transformation takes root naturally.

We cultivate trauma-informed spaces where every voice is heard, every choice is honoured, and every story is valued. Our programmes, workshops, and volunteer teams are designed to restore confidence, build genuine connections, and foster sustainable growth.

OUR CORE COMMITMENTS

Cultivating authentic relationships

We move beyond service as sacrifice. Instead, we nurture community-led growth where helpers and participants walk side by side on a shared journey.

Embracing wholeness over perfection

Offering choice, not obligation 

Our movement is an open invitation. We light the path and celebrate each person’s decision to join us, knowing commitment is strongest when it comes from within.

Living the values we teach

Empowerment starts with self-alignment. Our team embodies integrity, compassion, and creativity, guiding through example rather than instruction.

Designing with safety and compassion 

Every gathering, resource, and training is shaped by trauma-informed principles to ensure emotional safety, trust, and collaborative healing.

Real healing happens in the messy, imperfect moments. We honour vulnerability as the birthplace of resilience and invite everyone to bring their full selves.

OUR APPROACH

Every aspect of WomanLeigh—from our volunteer induction to our flagship workshops—reflects our belief in leading by living. We integrate creative therapies, mindful practices, and community enterprise to offer a holistic healing experience. Volunteers aren’t just guides; they’re fellow travellers, walking each step with heart and humility.

We partner with local organisations, health services, and cultural initiatives to extend our impact. Together, we co-design outreach programmes, resource packs, and safe spaces that honour diverse experiences and amplify women’s voices.
