WOMEN@THEWELL is a UK-based nonprofit organisation dedicated to supporting women who have been affected by or are at risk of sexual exploitation. Registered under charity number 1118613, the organisation operates primarily in the King’s Cross area of central London.

Mission and Services
WOMEN@THEWELL provides practical support and advocacy to women facing a wide range of disadvantages, with a specialised focus on those whose lives have been impacted by prostitution and sexual exploitation. The charity runs a drop-in centre near King’s Cross station, open Monday to Thursday from 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm, which welcomes any woman without the need for an appointment. The centre offers essential services including nutritious meals, hot showers, laundry facilities, clean clothes, and gentle activities designed to support wellbeing.

Beyond the drop-in centre, WOMEN@THEWELL offers appointment-based one-to-one support and advocacy to women ready to engage more deeply with their recovery and empowerment process. The organisation also conducts outreach work to meet women in other areas of London and accepts referrals, though women can access support without a referral.

Advocacy and Impact
The organisation’s support workers assist women with issues such as domestic abuse, drug and alcohol misuse, sexual assault, trafficking, housing, benefits, legal matters, and immigration challenges. WOMEN@THEWELL is independent and actively advocates for the rights of women, addressing systemic inequalities and calling for radical social change to ensure all women can live free from discrimination, abuse, and neglect.

History and Recognition
WOMEN@THEWELL is recognised as a charity under English law and continues to rely on the generosity of funders and supporters to sustain its unique work supporting vulnerable women.

The organisation is a significant presence in London’s network of women’s support services, combining practical aid with a strong commitment to social justice and systemic change.
