Anawim is an independent charity originally founded by the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity. The Trustees include representatives from Father Hudson’s Society and Our Lady of Charity who worked with them to develop the work, their joint vision and ethos continue to inspire the project. Anawim seeks to support women who are vulnerable due to poverty, homelessness, abuse, rape, addictions, and may be drawn into prostitution and/or offending as a consequence. It recognises prostitution as exploitation of women. All staff, whether working in a paid or voluntary capacity, are expected to respect and work to the core values of respecting others, valuing all, and belief in the possibility of a life lived to the full. The Anawim centre provides therapeutic courses and activities to support a range of women to move on in their lives. The women come from many backgrounds often with multiple & complex needs. One of these needs is being far away from the employment market, often with multi-generational lived experience of reliance upon benefits or suffering from other barriers either cultural or from having a criminal record.
