Anawim is a Birmingham-based charity that provides gender-informed and trauma-responsive support to women, helping them overcome challenges and reach their full potential. Last year, Anawim supported more than 2,100 women through advocacy, counselling, crisis intervention, and specialist long-term support in both community and secure settings.

At the heart of Anawim is a welcoming drop-in service, where women can access support for a wide range of needs, including safety, housing, finances, food, mental health, and wellbeing. The organisation also offers counselling, group activities, courses, and practical support, creating a safe space where women can connect, learn, and rebuild their lives.
