Positive Pathways

Our Pathways Programme supports marginalised and vulnerable women aged 18+ in Salford with complex needs.
This includes unemployment, poverty, social isolation, homelessness, digital exclusion and low-level mental health needs.

Here's what participants say about the project

‘I really didn’t want to come out on this walk today, but I am so glad I came. I feel much better to be out and meeting other people. Collecting my gym pass afterwards has been another bonus.’ Caroline.

“I don’t like doing anything inside the house and put it off. Since joining the RHS gardening group, I have started taking a pride in my garden and spending a lot of time in tidying it up. This has helped my well-being and has become a coping strategy.” Jill

“The project has really helped me to improve my confidence and move on. The thing that stands out the most is the support I received over my feelings of failure and rejection over my marriage breakdown. You gave me a different perspective and made me value myself.” Helena
