What We Do

The Water Lily Project is a registered Christian charity that predominantly supports vulnerable women in crisis. This may be a temporary crisis such as an acrimonious divorce, bereavement, illness etc. Or it could be something more long term such as mental health issues, self-harming, domestic violence and abuse, addiction or financial difficulties.

Our aims for all our beneficiaries is to:

• provide a friendly and loving environment where women feel safe and protected
• give women the freedom to be themselves
• give women space to heal and grow
• give FREE support in a non-judgmental surrounding

Our objective is to help lead women back into independent living.

On a secondary level WLP supports the local community at Bailey’s Cafe where we operate out of.
