Sunflower Women's Centre

Our Sunflower Women’s Centre is the only women’s day centre in the heart of Plymouth, providing a safe hub for connection and hope.

Every year, Sunflower supports and empowers more than 500 local women, many with complex needs and experience of trauma and abuse.

Sunflower offers an umbrella therapeutic service for woman in the City. This could include mental well-being, health, criminogenic behaviours, addiction, domestic abuse and social isolation.

Our compassionate and aspirational team of Sunflower Practitioners ensures a personalised package of support which includes group work, counselling, creative therapies, drop-in women’s space, parenting support and much more.

Our co-located partners, including Probation services, Department of Work and Pensions, Sexual health and other third sector agencies, ensure we offer the range of support needed.

The centre is spread over 3 floors, complete a health and well-being and trauma informed creche.

Over the past year, 96% of women supported by Sunflower say it has been a lifeline, with 85% able to move forward in life after support from Sunflower.

Sunflower aspires to be a stepping stone to independence and full-living. It offers women a space to breathe, belong and gain skills, confidence and self-care to move on in their lives.

Trevi … is truly unique, working with highly stigmatised and traumatised women in a way that supports their dignity. Its approach is incredibly innovative, human and compassionate while delivering highly effective results – improving lives while saving public money in the longer term. By allowing women with difficult backgrounds of substance abuse to live with their children throughout the recovery process, Trevi improves outcomes for both mothers and children.

Before I came to Sunflower I was extremely anxious and didn’t get out much. I have found Sunflower a breath of fresh air! Everyone is so welcoming and I am keen to try lots of new things and meet like-minded people. Thank you to everyone who makes this all possible, you are all wonderful.
