A COMMUNITY group supporting vulnerable women has been awarded a grant for self-esteem and exercise courses.

The Well Women Centre in Leigh has been given a cash boost of almost £76,000 from Wigan Council.

Money will be spent on mindfulness courses and exercise classes for women who may not have the confidence to engage elsewhere.

Lynn Addison, manager at the centre, said: “This money will help to provide even more opportunities for our service users who may have experienced mental health conditions, domestic abuse or social isolation or are simply looking for friendship.”

The grant is part of The Deal for Communities Investment Fund.
