The Corner recognised for championing women’s wellbeing

The Corner, Dundee’s Health and Wellbeing Service for young people, has been awarded for their commitment to providing a safe, inclusive, and empowering environment for women across the city.

The team has received the Welcoming Women Award from the Dundee Violence Against Women Partnership (DVAWP). The certification is for organisations who actively think about the needs of women.

The Corner has worked alongside the DVAWP over the past year to identify areas of service delivery that could be improved. The Welcoming Women Award recognises efforts made to understand and address the unique challenges, issues, and needs faced by women in Dundee.

Zara Cargill, Clinical Team Lead said, “We are delighted to be recognised for our commitment to making The Corner a welcoming and supportive environment for women. This award reflects the hard work of our entire team and our ongoing dedication to meeting the needs of the community we serve."

The Corner is a health and wellbeing service based in Dundee City Centre for young people aged 11-19 years or up to age 25 for vulnerable young people. An NHS Tayside multi-disciplinary team provides a range of supports including sexual health, emotional health, crisis intervention, substance use, young carer support and counselling.
