The North End Women’s Centre (NEWC) has provided programs and services to women and their families in this community since 1984. The mission of the NEWC is to:
* assist women to gain control over their lives; * break the cycles of violence, poverty, isolation or dependency that may affect them; * enable them and their families to achieve independence and quality in their lives.
The North End Women’s Centre works toward the goal of equality for all women. We meet our mandate by providing free supportive information & referral services, group and individual counselling, drop-in with a community access phone, educational workshops, reference material, community development projects, community economic development programs, community computer access, two transitional housing units, assistance with basic need provision, volunteer opportunities and support to other community agencies.
