Nau mai, haere mai & Welcome to the Nelson Women's Centre 

We are a community hub offering practical support for women and non-binary people in Whakatū.

From counselling and social work support to workshops, group activities, and shared kai, we provide a place where people can feel heard, supported, and empowered.

The Centre is a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space to connect, access resources, and build support networks—regardless of background or circumstance.

Our work is grounded in empowerment, education, connection, and wellbeing.
