Women's Support
As part of our Love Your Neighbour ministry, we have a heart to support women who have experienced, or are experiencing, exploitation, gender-based abuse, or other significant adverse life experiences. Harbour Church works in partnership with a number of local organisations to ensuring affected women receive compassionate and holistic care.
Haven
A women-only support group that provides a safe, welcoming and confidential space where women can build supportive relationships and experience a sense of belonging. Guests receive a warm welcome, refreshments, and the opportunity to take part in a range of activities, including crafts, cooking, gentle exercise, discussions, and informative sessions designed to promote wellbeing, confidence and connection. Haven is delivered in partnership with Portsmouth City of Sanctuary and Vista. To help ensure the safety and privacy of everyone who attends, Haven is accessed by referral only.
To request a referral, please email portsmouth@vistauk.org or call/text 07869258165
Outreach
In partnership with Vista and Eden, volunteers from Harbour church participate in women’s outreach work by monthly visits to the adult entertainment club and massage parlours across Portsmouth, offering a non-judgmental, confidential listening ear with safety and next steps planning where a woman is seeking change, as well as signposting, gift bag and prayer if that is welcome.
Women's Brunch
We host a women’s brunch at All Saints Church. A space for women to be seen, loved and supported. Join us to chat, eat, share, and pray together.
Keep an eye out for upcoming dates on our What’s on page.
