Welcome to Foleshill Women's Training

Spring 2010

"My life had stopped.  I came here.  It started again."

Newsflash:

FWT are pleased to announce that they have been awarded money to refurbish the centre from The Capacity Builders fund. We are pleased to say that the work has begun, we will update the website with pictures very soon!

Welcome to Foleshill Women's Training. We’re 21 years old this year, and continue to work hard to change the lives of the women of Coventry, and help women move forward.   

We offer education, training, healthcare and employment opportunities for all Coventry women, and this website contains information about all our projects, events, stories, interviews, and much more! Activities take place at the centre, and at locations around the city. 

Our 'What's On' section highlights the forthcoming events we are involved in, at the centre, and across Coventry:

Message from the Operational Manager :

We have been very busy in the centre since the last time I wrote, our centre refurbishment is fully underway and should be finished by easter, we would love you to come in and have a look!!

Our Mamta project focuses on health care for women and now includes a Pre conception care project to enable us to work across the whole of Coventry:
