About Women’s Integration Network
WIN creates welcoming community spaces where women can connect, rebuild confidence, and feel at home in Scotland.
Mission and purpose
WIN exists to reduce isolation, challenge the barriers that keep women in poverty, promote equality and diversity, and support women to live with dignity. The organisation’s charitable purposes include poverty relief, human rights, equality and diversity, wellbeing, education, empowerment, and community action.
Through weekly activities, advocacy, signposting, and trusted peer support, WIN helps women and families navigate crisis, rebuild confidence, and take part more fully in community life.
Who WIN supports
WIN supports women and families who may be rebuilding life after displacement, asylum journeys, poverty, domestic abuse, trauma, isolation, or limited access to public funds. Many women arrive with strength and determination, but face complex systems, uncertainty, and barriers to support.
WIN responds by creating a place of welcome: a network where women can meet, learn, share practical knowledge, access referrals, and support one another.
What WIN does
WIN’s work includes Women’s Hour, wellbeing activities, community events, rights awareness, training, development opportunities, advocacy, and practical signposting. The organisation connects women with trusted support around housing, legal advice, Home Office matters, domestic abuse, social support, and community services.
The work is practical and relational: friendship, information, confidence, referrals, and collective voice all matter.
Founder-led community leadership
WIN was founded by Olivia Ndoti and continues to be shaped by women’s lived experience, community leadership, and a deep commitment to integration with dignity. The organisation is built around the belief that women should not face poverty, isolation, or injustice alone.
The organisation combines practical support with friendship, learning, confidence-building, and trusted peer connection.
WIN in numbers
Women describe WIN as a place of hope, strength, knowledge, friendship, confidence, and belonging. The network helps women feel less alone, more informed, and better able to face difficult situations with support around them.
