"To improve the quality of life for women through education and personal development, supporting women to make choices for the future"
A Centre of Education exclusively for women, FSWC has been a beacon of hope, support, training and Childcare for women in the Dungannon and South Tyrone Area (and further afield, there are no exclusions).
FSWC began in humble settings in 1998 as a place for women from both sides of the community to come together to socialise, talk and to take part in different types of activities. Since then FSWC has developed into a Centre providing 300-350 course placements per year with 110 childcare places per week in a newly refurbished, state-of-the-art Childcare facility!
Previous students have enjoyed the Centre's friendly atmosphere and approachable staff/tutor's. They leave the centre with increased confidence to further their education or look for employment. Read more testimonials
What is Health Promotion?
The overall aim of our Health Promotion work is to improve the physical and mental health of women and provide opportunities which will enable them to achieve their full potential.
First Steps has a holistic approach to women’s education and personal development. We strive to anticipate the barriers women may face when they return to education and help them overcome these, for example, providing childcare and transport.
The role of the Health Promotion Worker was created as there was recognition within the Centre that women needed support and education in relation to their health and wellbeing.
