The Centre serves a wide geographic area, providing assistance to women from Lincoln, West Lincoln, and Grimsby. Our education program continues through the media and most importantly through public workshops on issues such as self-esteem and awareness of factors that contribute to violence. It has been entirely volunteer-driven with the exception of our Program Manager. The Trinity United Church in Beamsville allows the Centre to be housed in an adjacent building owned by the church so program costs can be kept as low as possible. Our Services Firstly, we are not a shelter.
Shelters deal primarily with crisis of an emergency nature.
We have well-established links to shelters in St. Catharines, Welland, and Niagara Falls. Women can phone in, leave messages, or drop in at the times we are open. Women can get information about services in the Niagara region such as counselling, housing, legal, or health services. Women can speak privately with a volunteer who will listen and keep anything said confidential. Meanwhile, there will be time to share a cup of coffee and a place for children to play safely.
