Crossroads Women runs the Crossroads Women’s Centre in Kentish Town. The Centre is a disability-accessible, multi-racial community resource.  We bring together women from  different ages, backgrounds and communities to share experiences, learn from and support each other.

We provide a place of safety and a diversity of self-help services and activities in one place where women are encouraged and can find solutions to problems, even the most difficult – our motto is something can always be done. We support mothers and other carers on whom families and communities depend most to get through the worst of times. Men ready to work with women in a mutually supportive way are  welcome. Visitors from every age and social background comment on how warm and welcoming the Centre is, and the spirit of co-operation that prevails.

There is an assumption that childcare or elder care is all women need. But we are never asked what we think about how we spend our time and the resources we have/don’t have. This survey is being circulated in different countries and languages.

Making Merry Christmas 2022!
The Centre distributed 40 huge food hampers, containing everything to make a delicious Christmas dinner, to destitute and low-income women and children who join in the Centre’s collective self-help services.
