It’s Monday morning and Sharon Hughes sings along to the radio as she bustles around the kitchen at the Tomorrow’s Women centre in Birkenhead.
The charity was launched in 2011 to help women in or on the periphery of the Criminal Justice System to set themselves on a different path. Over the last 12 years, the service has evolved to support women dealing with a whole host of issues such as domestic abuse and social isolation, with more than 11,000 women having had their lives transformed by the centre on Beckwith St East.
“I’ve been through it all and Tomorrow’s Women (TW) has been a lifeline for me,” Sharon tells the ECHO as she sinks into one of the many sofas dotted about the centre’s communal area. “I always say it's like a magical place here. Everyone evolves at a different place and Tomorrow’s Women gives you a place to do that.”
