About Us

Our Aims 

 

The Inner Strength Network (I.S.N) was set up with the aim of supporting women and girls and their families to overcome difficult moments in their lives.  

​

  • This includes domestic abuse survivors, where we work directly with them on a one to one and group level. 

  • Through coaching, training and mentoring we provide practical support to women and girls enabling them to live life free from abusive situations. 

  • We provide emotional support helping them to find their inner strength. 

  • We work directly with those disadvantaged especially among the global majority communities 

  • We raise awareness on issues relating to injustice in the workplace and among individuals.eg any forms of hate. 

  • We provide direct support to children of domestic abuse and deliver prevention work in institutions. 

​

I.S.N plays a significant role in delivering key aspects of the Government’s Violence Against Women and Girls  ( VAWG) Strategy in Merton and neighbouring boroughs by supporting women and girls to realise their potential, develop life skills to overcome traumatic situations such as, Child Sexual Exploitation, gender-based violence discrimination; poor mental health, and low self-esteem issues.
