WE FREE WOMEN was the brainchild of Tamzin Outhwaite who was inspired to set up well-being retreats and experiences for deserving women who couldn’t afford to treat themselves and who really, really need a break
A huge advocate of mental health, natural therapies and carving out restorative space and time, Tamzin was inspired while on a solo retreat to give others the opportunity to reset and restore
After an overwhelming response to her social media posts, Tamzin put together a group of likeminded women who volunteered their time and services to launch WE FREE WOMEN
Our Story
A NOTE FROM TAMZIN...
Self care is a buzzword that we are all so much aware of these days, but it is also a luxury that most people do not have the time or money to afford.
There are millions of women out there who are struggling, whether it be financial difficulties, menopause, single mothers caring for children, troubled teens & some caring for elderly parents too… it goes on and on… Spinning plates, juggling childcare, work, running a home & with the cost of living crisis it can feel impossible for women to make themselves a priority financially, time wise & whilst dealing with too many responsibilities.
Our stretched NHS is full of women reaching out and not getting as much help as they deserve…
Wellness retreats offer people some rest, a chance to grow and to focus and look within themselves with the help of wonderful therapies, nourishing food and calming surroundings… a chance to be free and be themselves. With so many women not able to afford such luxury, I’ve been inspired to start one which will be free…
My hope is to turn this into something bigger, to be able to make retreats for women across the UK for free. I have been inundated with responses, suggestions & nominations of deserving women who simply can’t afford it… but I have also had massage therapists, chefs, P.Ts, menopause specialists, healers, yoga teachers, breath work experts and people offering up their properties.
WE FREE WOMEN, will endeavour to help women and provide support. We all should be free women, free to feel, free to be ourselves and free to choose. Our organisation will provide free information, a free place to connect with others and details about our free health and wellbeing retreats. Any funds donated will be used towards the retreats and ongoing support to women in need.
Thank you all so much.

Our Mission
We believe that every woman needs a space to restore, retreat and regain her energy for life when she feels depleted - and yet it’s often the women who give the most who find such experiences out of their reach.
We Free Women is a CIC that delivers fully funded retreats and experiences to these women who really deserve a break. We do this through a combination of donations, grants, sponsorship and our large network of volunteers who, like the founders of WFW, believe in paying it forward, with gratitude, to deliver transformation, growth and change.
The retreat experience itself is key - but it’s the transformation that delivers life-changing results. We hold space for people and give them the tools to take back into their lives, to continue the experience.
We aim to provide benefit to women who are struggling, whether it be financial difficulties, menopause, single mothers caring for children, troubled teens & some caring for elderly parents too... it goes on and on... Spinning plates, juggling childcare, work, running a home & with the cost of living crisis it can feel impossible for women to make themselves a priority financially, time wise & whilst dealing with too many responsibilities.
Our retreats take place in beautiful settings where guests can reconnect with nature and experience deep relaxation, connection and joy. We take care of guests’ every need, from fluffy robes and goody bags on arrival to nourishing meals, nutritious drinks and seasonal homemade snacks. Guests can choose from a full menu of pampering treatments, natural therapies and inspiring classes that empower them with tools and techniques to take back into their lives.
The events will be 100% free for the women who will attend.
We Free Women to take a pause and be truly nurtured.
