Women's Own at The Chara Centre and Elder Street, Glasgow (360G-cabinetoffice-GA-495954)

Citizens Theatre aims to continue and develop a series of therapeutic arts workshops in Glasgow, to be run inside and in partnership with two statutory residential centres for women with multiple and complex needs. Beneficiaries are mostly women in recovery from violence, addiction, homelessness and/or contact with the criminal justice system. The project aims to reduce their social isolation, help them process past victimisation, and increase their confidence and resilience, so that they can better transition back to independent living. The project also aims to engage the women in community activities to build understanding and address stigma, including via bi-annual performances.
