About W.A.S.H
Women Achieving Safety and Hope Ltd (W.A.S.H) is a charitable company that was formed in 2021 with a focus of providing support to women and girls from an ethnic minority background experiencing mental ill health in England and Wales.
The organisation was formed by four professional women from an ethnic minority background, with experience in Health, Social Care and Education, who understand the important influences on ethnic minorities’ mental health like:
Domestic Abuse
Mental health
Racism and discrimination
Covid-19 effects
Others
If you wish to contribute to the cause, you are welcome to be part of the WASH team. Register with us today and let your expertise be a blessing to your neighbour.
