Exciting News: EmpowerHer Workshops Now Available Online!
We are delighted to announce that our successful EmpowerHer Workshops will soon be available online! Starting this June, our sessions will be offered virtually every Thursday evening, from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM, making it even more accessible for women who prefer evening sessions or can't travel to our in-person meetings.
These online workshops maintain the core values and structure of our original EmpowerHer sessions, focusing on empowerment, resilience, self-care, healthy relationships, and emotional well-being. Each of the 10 interactive sessions is thoughtfully designed to support women, build their confidence, and nurture their emotional strength.
Means-Tested Participation:
We believe support should be accessible to all, regardless of financial circumstances. Therefore, our online workshops will operate a means-tested payment structure:
-
Participants who can afford it are kindly asked to pay a minimal fee of £20.00, helping TASS cover platform and administrative costs.
-
Those who are currently experiencing financial hardship (including those on financial aid/benefits) or are unable to pay can attend free of charge.
This flexible approach ensures that all women who need support can access our empowering workshops without financial stress.
Interested? Spaces will be limited, so we encourage early registration. Referrals can be professional or self-made, and you can register your interest now by visiting our Contact Us page or by reaching out directly:
