The Neesa Project is based at the Woodville Surestart Centre on Shirley Road. Neesa provides services for the local South Asian women by organising various activities for women to develop skills raise their self esteem and improve their circumstances to enhance their living conditions.

The project runs Monday to Thursday and provides a range of activities such as stay and play, elderly luncheon club, library service, listing an advice service, group work for Mental Health and drop in.

We work in partnership with various organisations such as WEA and People’s Voice Media who provide English, IT and Sewing Sessions.

Leisure services with Zest give an opportunity for women to access the gym, sauna and swimming pool. We also have once a month Pamper Day’s for carers. In addition we also do home visits for women unable to come to the centre. In future we are planning to host an event at the local Abraham Moss Theatre on November 5th for any further information please contact us on 0161 740 2995 or 0161 740 9400.

In the near future we are looking into doing Child Care Course NVQ Level 1. If anyone is interested please contact Shireen 0161 740 2995.
