They run Drop in sessions, activities and courses where women can learn and grow and have their own clothes bank.
The team strive to create an atmosphere of empowerment and self-development, removing obstacles and dealing with issues together. A lot of the women who benefit from the centre go on to help and participate in the day to day running as volunteers, trustees and members.
If you know a person, a group, charity or business who deserves some recognition then you have until the 18th November 2016 to nominate them for a Love Barrow Award 2017.
