Our Commitment to the Women’s Health Plan
At Nicola’s – Supporting Women, we are proud to align our work with Scotland’s Women’s Health Plan, which sets out national priorities to improve health outcomes for women and girls. The Plan focuses on key areas such as menstrual health, menopause, endometriosis, contraception, pregnancy, mental health, cancer screening, and reducing inequalities in women’s general health.
Our organisation supports these priorities by providing a safe, community‑led space for women, raising awareness of women’s health inequalities, and signposting to trusted NHS Inform resources across all major women’s‑health topics. We bring these priorities to life through local support groups, wellbeing sessions, mental‑health resources, and advocacy informed by lived experience.
By ensuring our services reflect the same aims as the national Women’s Health Plan, we are committed to helping women access clear information, compassionate support, and a community that understands their health journey.
We’ve gathered a list of trusted resources from NHS Inform and local services to help you explore these areas. Click the links below for more information and self-help guidance/ click on the under lined to access NHS inform website.

We attended the Endometriosis Roundtable event facilitated by Kirsteen Sullivan MSP.

Hazel from Breast Friends & Family visited Nicola's Drop In. Breast Friends and Family has been setup by Hazel, her sister Mandy, mother Sylvia and daughter Holly. Hazel was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2015 which shocked the family but the challenges this diagnosis brought were faced with a steely determination to keep life going as normal and provide Hazel with the support she needed through treatment and recovery.
Hazel, one of our dedicated volunteers, recently gave an insightful talk at our drop-in session, focusing on Gender-Based Violence in honor of the 16 Days of Activism. Her presentation highlighted the importance of awareness and education in combating this critical issue. We are grateful for her commitment to raising awareness and fostering open discussions in our.
