Womankind - support group for women

01/01/2026

WomanKind is a supportive, confidential space for women to come together, just as they are.

Whether you need to vent, share what’s been weighing on you, or simply sit and listen, you’ll be met with understanding, compassion, and zero judgement.

Life can be heavy. Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is show up and say, “I’m not okay.” And sometimes, it’s enough just to be in a room where you’re not alone.

✨ Join us this Monday
🗓 5th January
⏰ 6:15pm – 8:30pm
📍 St Wilfrid’s Hospice, Eastbourne

You don’t need to prepare anything. You don’t need to speak if you don’t want to.
Just come as you are — you’ll be very welcome.

💗 WomanKind — because women supporting women matters.

Fiona and Lisa were delighted to be invited to talk today at the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation information day The Relais Cooden Beach Hotel & Spa in Cooden.

We teamed up with Ian Pickard and Paul Roskilly from ManKind to share how our support groups are here to help those affected by lung cancer but also to help with the mental health challenges that often come alongside a diagnosis.

A big thank you to the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation for hosting such an important event and to everyone who joined us. It’s inspiring to see so many people committed to supporting both physical and emotional wellbeing.

Lisa and Fiona have been invited to talk at this event next week together with Ian and Paul from Mankind. 🩷

A lung cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to face it alone.

🌸 Why every woman should come along to WomanKind 🌸

WomanKind was created as the female version of ManKind - a safe, supportive space where women can talk openly about life, challenges, and mental wellbeing without judgement.

It’s not therapy, and you don’t need to have all the answers — it’s simply about connecting, listening, and realising that none of us are alone in what we face. 💬💗

Our next meeting is on Monday 3rd November, 6:15–8:30 PM at St Wilfrid's Hospice in Eastbourne and all women are welcome.

If you’ve been thinking about doing something positive for yourself — to share, to breathe, or just to be — this is your sign to come along. You’ll be met with kindness, empathy, and understanding. 🌷

12/10/2025

Just a reminder that we are meeting tomorrow night at St Wilfrid’s Hospice from 6.15 for tea/coffee starting at 6.30 through until 8.30pm.

Unfortunately the lift is out of use so will be stairs only.

We hope to see you there. 🩷💜

Our next meeting will be held on Monday 13th October at St Wilfrid's Hospice in Eastbourne.

This is a free group open to all women over 18. Please come along to talk, vent, support or just listen.

The team from ManKind and WomanKind took part in the Buxted Bonfire Society torchlight procession last night collecting money for both causes. The buckets were getting very heavy towards the end of the evening!
