We offer a range of one-to-one and group delivery, working with women both pre-release and in the community. Our Women’s Service operates across Greater Lincolnshire and delivers a variety of support and courses within a confidential and safe environment.

Every Thursday between 3pm and 4pm, a member of the family department from Sills & Betteridge attends a drop in clinic to offer help, support and guidance to anyone who may need some initial information and assistance in relation to family matters. Sills & Betteridge have a large family team consisting of over 30 members spanning over 18 offices across the Midlands, specialising in all areas including divorce, finances, children matters and domestic abuse. If you have any questions or queries of a family nature, then Sills & Betteridge will be very happy to help you during their weekly drop in clinic. You will not be charged for this appointment.
