LONDON, UK — Woman World Today launches today their Wellness Directory, a compilation of local wellness practitioners, holistic health advocates and ethical businesses. Alongside our launch, we are shining the spotlight on our “Local Heroes” and generous “Goody Bag Sponsors” who are supporting our chosen charity: Bromley and Croydon’s Women’s Aid.

As we celebrate these vital community connections, Woman World Today invites businesses, wellness practitioners and, corporate sponsors across the region to join us. Spread the word #ChangeNeedsAllofUs. By becoming a partner, your organization can directly contribute to ending domestic abuse while gaining prominent visibility within our growing wellness community.

Standing with Survivors: Our Chosen Charity

Domestic abuse remains one of the most pervasive societal challenges today. To understand the depth of this issue, academic and historical literature points to the systemic nature of gender-based violence. In her seminal book, Coercive Control: How Men Entrap Women in Personal Life, Evan Stark details how domestic abuse extends far beyond physical violence, manifesting as a devastating pattern of psychological, financial, and physical isolation that strips victims of their autonomy. Rebuilding a life after such profound trauma requires comprehensive, specialized support systems.

This is precisely where Bromley & Croydon Women’s Aid (BCWA) steps in. Established in 1975, BCWA is a registered charity and social housing provider dedicated to ending all forms of domestic abuse in South London. The organization provides life-changing services, including safe, temporary refuge accommodation, one-to-one community advocacy, professional counselling, and preventative educational programs in local schools.

At the core of BCWA's mission is a commitment to maintaining the independence, confidence, and self-esteem of every survivor they support. They deliver these vital services in a culturally sensitive, highly responsive manner, treating every individual with the utmost integrity, honesty, and respect.

Introducing Our Wellness Directory, Local Heroes, and Goody Bag Partners

The Woman World Today Wellness Directory is designed to connect our readers with exceptional local businesses that prioritize holistic health, mental well-being, and community care. In tandem with the directory, our Local Heroes campaign honours the businesses and individuals who dedicate their time, services, or funds to support vulnerable communities.

Our Goody Bag Partners are an extension of this mission. These generous brands have contributed premium, wellness-focused products to our exclusive event goody bags. All goody bag donations plus, 50p of Woman World Today T-shirts sold goes directly to BCWA. Please note selling T-shirts is a new fundraising initiative to support event organising expenses. Total sales of T-shirts sold will be confirmed on the day.

Why Your Organisation Should Join Us

We believe that true community wellness cannot exist without safety, equality, and social justice. As the theme of the recent Race Equality Week campaign reminds us, #ChangeNeedsAllofUs.

True social impact relies on collective responsibility and active allyship rather than passive observation.

By joining the Woman World Today Wellness Directory as a partner, sponsor, or goody bag contributor, your organization will:

Make a Tangible Difference: Directly support BCWA’s safe refuges and outreach programs, helping women and children heal from trauma and rebuild their lives in safety.

Align with Purpose-Driven Values: Demonstrate your commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) by standing publicly against domestic violence against women and girls.

Reach an Engaged Audience: Showcase your brand, services, or products to a highly engaged, health-conscious, and community-minded demographic.

Foster Local Collaboration: Connect with other like-minded "Local Heroes," ethical businesses, and community leaders across South London.

How to Get Involved

We are actively seeking additional wellness practitioners, retail brands, and corporate sponsors to join our upcoming campaign, feature in our directory, and contribute to our charity goody bags. Whether you are a yoga instructor, a clean-beauty brand, a mental health professional, or a local corporate entity, there is a place for you to make an impact.
