Exciting News:
The National Lottery Funds EmpowerHer Workshops!
We are thrilled to announce that Tambu Ayis Support Service (TASS) has received funding from The National Lottery for an entire year for our EmpowerHer Workshop program!
This funding will play a crucial role in providing empowering workshops to women and children who have experienced gender-based violence, trauma, or domestic abuse. It will enable us to offer vital support, resources, and a safe space for individuals to heal, rebuild their confidence, and take steps towards a brighter future.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to The National Lottery and The National Lottery Players for their generous support. Without the dedication and commitment of lottery players, services like ours would not be able to provide essential support for vulnerable individuals in our society.
Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us make a positive difference in the lives of those who need it most.
