Ladies’ Integration Project – 2019 updates
The successful long year run of this project, along with the number of women that come to JET for the first time and ask for activities to help them be more socially active, are great evidence as to how much women
in our area feel marginalised and how strongly they wish to change this. Our integration project aims in helping those women build their confidence, support them to improve their physical health and understand how important their mental health also is. We aspire in making sure that they have a safe haven, where no-one is lonely, devalued or unable to fulfil their potential.
We know YOU can and we are here to help you find your way.
