"The Nelson Women’s Centre plays a distinctive and valued role within our region’s social services
landscape. What sets the Centre apart is its accessibility—offering support and connection without the need for referrals. Many of the Centre’s services are preventative in nature, providing
early intervention through affordable access to counselling, social work support, and a wide range of wellbeing initiatives. Their commitment to empowerment, inclusivity, and community-building
makes them a vital part of Nelson’s support network for women and non-binary people. " Sally Mottram - Community Partnerships Advisor Nelson City
