    • Woman Zones' principle aim is to empower, inspire and enrich the lives of women of all ages in the local area, the majority of whom come from South Asian communities.
      We focus and target our work on under-represented communities, delivering from Bradford Moor but engaging women, girls and their families throughout Bradford East and further afield across the district.
      Whilst providing direct support to women, we also take a whole family approach, recognising that this is the best way to achieve the biggest impact.
      We therefore provide sessions where male members of the family can take part too.
