We have some difficult news to share with our community.

After more than a decade of service, the Board of Trustees of Women on the Frontline Ministries (WOFM) has decided to close WOFM’s operations. WOFM will cease operational activities on 3 September 2026, after which we will begin the formal process of winding down the organisation.

This decision was not taken lightly. The funding environment has grown increasingly challenging, and after carefully considering WOFM’s resources and its ability to continue delivering our work responsibly, the Board concluded that an intentional, orderly close is the right course for the organisation.

Since 2013, WOFM has walked alongside vulnerable women and families across East London, supporting them through difficult circumstances and helping them find hope, strength and a way forward. None of that would have been possible without the dedication of our staff, volunteers, trustees, partners, funders and supporters.

Whether you gave financially, volunteered your time, partnered with us, referred women to our services, shared our work, prayed for us, or simply encouraged us along the way, you have been part of the WOFM story, and we are deeply grateful.

An organisation closing does not erase what was built. The relationships formed, the lessons learned and the lives touched through this work remain. The WOFM chapter is ending but its impact carries on in the people who were part of it.

Thank you for believing in the vision of WOFM and for standing with us.
