We Free Women was founded by Tamzin Outhwaite to give women who couldn't otherwise afford it access to wellbeing retreats and a proper break. Inspired by her own solo retreat, Tamzin shared the idea on social media — the response was so strong that a group of volunteers came together to launch WFW.
Our Story
A note from Tamzin...
Self-care is something most women simply can't afford — in time or money. Between financial pressure, menopause, single parenting, caring for teens or elderly parents, and the general cost-of-living squeeze, making space for yourself can feel impossible. The NHS is stretched too thin to fill that gap.
Retreats offer rest, reflection, and a chance to reconnect with yourself through good food, calm surroundings, and real therapies. So many women can't afford that — I wanted to change that, starting with one free retreat.
Since then, we've been overwhelmed with nominations of deserving women, and offers of help from therapists, chefs, trainers, healers, and more. WE FREE WOMEN exists to support women and give them a free space to connect, get information, and access wellbeing retreats. Every donation goes straight to funding retreats and ongoing support.
Thank you.

Our Mission
Every woman needs space to rest and recharge — yet it's often the women who give the most who get this the least.
We Free Women is a CIC providing fully-funded retreats through donations, grants, sponsorships, and a network of volunteers who believe in paying it forward.
We support women facing financial hardship, menopause, single parenthood, caregiving, and the daily overload of juggling it all.
Our retreats take place in beautiful settings, with everything guests need taken care of — meals, treatments, therapies, and classes designed to send them home with real tools for life. It's 100% free, always.
We Free Women — a chance to pause, and be truly nurtured.
