About Us
At Extended Hands, we are dedicated to uplifting and empowering women and girls in the Peterborough community. Our mission is to enhance well-being, improve mental health, and alleviate feelings of isolation, loneliness, marginalisation, and rejection. We believe in the strength and resilience of every woman and girl we work with, and we strive to foster an environment that supports their journey to social and economic inclusion.
Our approach is proactive, community-oriented, and hands-on. We reach out to those in need, extending our hands in friendship and solidarity. We aim to inspire, enable, and empower every individual we come into contact with, breaking down barriers and opening up pathways to opportunity.
