IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM DIWC

Dundee International Women’s Centre remains temporarily closed due to ongoing concerns regarding the safety of the roof within our building at Manhattan Works.

We would like to reassure everyone that DIWC is not the only organisation affected by this situation. Other valuable local charities, including ADHD Dundee & Angus Support Group and Showcase the Street, are also currently impacted.

At present we are awaiting a further update from our landlord regarding next steps and timescales.

Please be assured that many of our classes and services are still continuing from different locations across Dundee thanks to the incredible support and kindness of other local organisations who have stepped in to help us during this difficult time.

A huge thank you to:

  • Dundee Women’s HUB
  • WRASAC Dundee & Angus
  • Fleming Gardens Sheltered Housing Complex
  • Boomerang
  • One Parent Families Scotland
  • IYN Maryfield
  • Stobswell Forum
  • HELM

Without these organisations generously providing space for us, continuing services would not have been possible.

1:1 support remains available. If you require support, please contact:

support@diwc.co.uk

01382 462058

We truly hope to be back in our centre very soon and will continue to keep everyone updated as soon as we receive further information.

If any organisations or community groups have available office space or rooms suitable for classes or support sessions, please get in touch with us at: mail@diwc.co.uk

Thank you to everyone for your patience, support and kindness during this challenging time.
