Wise Women - Women's Safety in Glasgow
Wise Women are a voluntary sector organisation in Glasgow, established in 1994, that supports women to improve their personal safety and confidence.
Tget are currently working in partnership with Glasgow Girls Club, Commonplace and Glasgow Violence Against Women’s Partnership to gather information on women’s safety in the city.
To achieve this they have developed an app that women can download to their phone that will give them access to an easy to use heatmap. This will allow women to input their experiences. The heatmap will be available until 1st March 2022. More information can be found at www.womenssafety.scot.
Any information gathered from the app will then be presented to Glasgow City Council decision makers for consideration in working groups and strategic forums.

Review, Refresh Return - the Women Returner's Programme
The ‘Women Returner’s Programme’ is funded by the Scottish Government and delivered by Triage Central Limited across the whole of Scotland. We support women to undertake training and further education, return to employment or improve their work skills following a career break through a variety of options dependant on the individual. We can deliver one-to-one and group sessions, online and in person so the service is very much tailored to an individual’s needs and can be structured around any caring responsibilities these women have.
To be eligible the women;
• must have worked previously
• must be 25 years old or above
• must have been unemployed for at least 6 months
