  • Odara - The Women's Support Network

The Odara Support Network offers women and their families the opportunity to grow personally, professionally and socially.

Are you a busy parent raising your family?

Take time out at one of our coffee mornings and chat to a member of our team.

Do you want to feel more connected to your community?

Come and join one of our community conversations and forums to meet new friends over a cup of tea. We have a range of workshops to choose from.

Do you struggle to know who to discuss difficult topics with?

We provide a sympathetic ear, so you’re free to chat with us about everything from mental health issues, self-esteem, or family worries.

Are you a health or social care professional supporting a vulnerable family?

We take referrals. Our specialist team can work with you to put support in place through our outreach programme.

We don’t judge.
We won’t discriminate.
We promise a warm welcome.

Our members are mums and families of all ages and backgrounds.

Together we are stronger.

Ask Aysha.
If something’s concerning you and you have a burning question on the matter, then ‘Ask Aysha’.

In this turbulent world of ours we tend to have more questions than answers given the daily bombardment of news, views and opinions we’re subjected to on TV and online. Often this can leave us wondering where to turn, which is why you can contact Odara’s Aysha with any questions you may have about current affairs, politics, family issues – you name it, Aysha can help, or point you in the right direction.
