The Tassibee Project provides support and activities to women and their families from blacn and ethnic minorities communities in Rotherha, who are living in disadvantaged areas and affected by issues including isolation, domestic abuse and hectic lifestyles.

“We provide workshops and advice to help build their self-esteem and become more independent.”
