Tea in the Pot was the result of an Oxfam-sponsored Regender workshop in 2004 and out of that a small group of women put out 400 questionnaires to the local people about what was needed in the area, and 158 were in favour of a women’s only drop-in. Tea in the Pot today is run by volunteers, semi-skilled, skilled, professional women, who all have walked through the door of TITP for their own particular reasons, and stayed to help others. We are that empty space for women between no man’s land; the step before professional help, or a place to go where there is no professional help. We are the arms and ears of comfort and compassion; we encourage and empower our women to rise above their troubles; empower them to say no to whoever or whatever; TITP enables them to give confidence to other women and share their skills with others. TITP is a room full of stories of humour, pain, and injustice. Women who have suffered, like all women all over the world, emotional and physical abuse, just because they ARE women. A room of healers, magic potions, counselling skills and techniques. No matter what culture, background, we are here for all women; we are whatever walks through our door.
