Kyra Women’s Project

We are a registered charity in York that exists to help local women make positive change in their lives. We offer a range of courses, therapies, life skills and events for women, from our relaxed, comfortable, city centre location. We welcome anyone who identifies as a woman and is over the age of 18: we have a young women’s project (the ROSE group) for those aged 18-25 (see under Activities) but all women are welcome to join any of our activities.

Our door will always be open until every woman in our area feels safe, supported and able to be the person they were always meant to be.

Take that first step. We can’t wait to meet you.

Membership of Kyra is free of charge.

Did you know? Most Kyra services are delivered by our specially-trained volunteers. They contribute 78 hours of volunteering in an average week – that’s over 4,000 hours/year. If they were paid at the Real Living Wage, that would be over £43,500 worth of work which they provide free to Kyra! 

We’ve signed the York Citywide Volunteering Pledge to show our commitment to contributing towards a thriving culture of Volunteering in York.

We’re on the #WomensServicesMap the UK’s first directory of services for women in contact with the criminal justice system. This map helps women to search for & access the individual & specialist support they need. Explore http://www.womensservicesmap.com #WomensCentres #WomensServices
