We have been successfully funded by the Tampon Tax to establish a national response to support women’s centres, women’s groups and networks to help them, and the women they support, to emerge stronger from the damage that the C-19 pandemic is having on women’s lives.

We know that many women are living with or have left abusive relationships during this time, at the same time, women are undertaking more unpaid care, losing their jobs, businesses and independence. Their lives will be even less equal and safe than before and isolation and loneliness in reality. This project is designed to help women’s organisations and groups to help them remain strong and sustainable and able to offer the support that women will need to pick up the pieces of their lives again.
The Labyrinth Project is a multi-faceted national network of women’s organisations in Scotland, Northern Ireland and England joining together create the synergy to strengthen women’s centres and groups with grant funding to help them survive and grow; and the creation of a National Centre of Excellence to help sustain the work of sector into the future.
