Our History
Shankill Women's Centre formed in 1987, Is located in a disadvantaged ward in North Belfast. It arose because of an expressed local need for women specific education, support and training. Originally located in "The Hummingbird" on the Shankill Road.
Shift in the 90's
During the late 90's SWC moved to new premises, forming the first community/statutory partnership of it's kind with the then North and West, Health and Social Care Trust. Fast forward some 25 years and they embarked on their biggest move to date.

The Dream
After a pipe dream for over a decade, acquiring derelict waste land on Lanark Way from Department of Justice (DOJ) and securing funding through Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB), Peace 4, the process commenced to build a £7.8 million capital project - Shankill Shared Women's Centre.
