To increase the hours of our existing women support worker by 8 hours a week for 6 months = £2496 To add another p/t 8 hours per week post for 6 months = £2496 This would enable us to offer twice weekly support to at least 10 women with existing poor mental health who are struggling to cope with the impact of COVID-19 as well as increase the volume of group activities beyond the current 8 week programme. It would also give us the capacity to reach out to at least another 25 women whom we know are at risk of poor mental health the longer the COVID-19 pandemic goes on.
