WHAC - Women's Health and Advice Centre
Providing support and services for the health and wellbeing of women, girls and families for over 25 years
Partners
Despite the increasingly difficult economic climate we strive to find creative and resourceful ways to meet challenges and make positive plans for the future. We work collaboratively, develop strong working partnerships and look for additional funding sources that will enable us to continue to make a difference to the lives of the women, girls and families we help.
If you would like to commision services or work with us to provide shared services, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
WHAC is a trusted and respected organisation and we actively contribute to policy development and partnership working across Northumberland. WHAC is on a number of steering groups and local initiatives, including:
- South East Northumberland Health Improvement Group (SENHIG)
- Northumberland Well Being & Work Group
- Northumberland Volunteer & Community Sector Consortium (NVCSC)
- Northumbria Health Care Trust (representing NVCSC)
- Vision Group
- Northumberland Employment & Work Service
- SWAN Steering Group
- Rape Steering Group
- South East Northumberland Domestic Violence forum
- Domestic Violence Service Providers group
- North East Women's Network
Representation at these forums and meetings helps us to build and maintain networks, make suggestions and give advice on improving services for women and act as advocates for women, based on our experience of delivering services.
22 referring organisations responded positively to a recent survey about our services; comments included:
"I think they're excellent, unique...a jewel in Northumberland's crown"
"They are the kind of organisation that Public Health England should be investing in!"
