The Millin Charity provide holistic support services for women in Newcastle & Gateshead.

We’ve provided specialist enterprise training, advice and support for women in Newcastle & Gateshead for over 20 years.

Our projects aim to make a real difference to the lives of the women we work with. We help women set up their own businesses, gain employability skills, access training and be part of a supportive community of women working towards financial independence.

We work with women who face multiple disadvantages due to lack of local opportunity, language barriers, limited skills & education, cycles of ongoing poverty, racial discrimination and lack of self-belief.

Through engaging with The Millin Charity, women gain the confidence and skills to not only achieve their goals but to improve their well-being, their connections and their opportunities.

The word ‘millin’ means ‘togetherness’ in Urdu, Bangladeshi and Hindi – and this is reflected in our welcoming community that the women we work with become part of.
