   Why volunteer at PWC?

   Peterborough Women's Centre is the only organisation in Peterborough that
   provides general information, advice and support exclusively for women. As a
   volunteer, you will be part of the help and advice we offer to women, in a
   non-judgemental environment and manner. We also have various educational
   courses that enable women to learn new skills such as Parenting, IT, English 
   and Skills for Life. We also have a creche facility to support most courses. Our
   motto is "If we can't help, we'll find a woman who can!" So if you have any
   spare time, even a couple of hours a week or month, or you wish to gain skills
   in an office environment and want to help other women then read on to find out
   how.
