Enabling women to live the lives they want to live

Aspire offers all women 18+ a welcoming and safe space to feel supported, socialise, gain confidence and skills, raise aspirations and recognise personal goals.

We provide award winning women’s services in the North-East of England. We offer a comprehensive range of intergenerational support and wellbeing services from our women only centre in Chester-le-Street. These sit alongside our learning programmes which build self-esteem, confidence, and skills.

All services are at no cost to you.


How can we help you?

Free Crèche Service

Aspire’s on-site crèche is staffed by professional childcare workers and is available for preschool aged children.

Our on-site crèche is subsidised with no additional cost to parents/carers.

All our children are treated as individuals and we aim to enhance their physical, intellectual, social and emotional learning and development through play.

Aspire’s crèche is available to all women while they’re using our services. Parents/carers should remain onsite whilst their child is in the crèche.

Please let us know in advance if you will require a space for your child.

“I can concentrate on my studies knowing my son is safe, learning new things and being really well looked after.”

“The staff are fantastic, my little boy loves it here and it has really helped his speech and social skills.”
