The Porch

A safe, kind place for women like you.

What you'll find here

Not a forum, not a support group, not a service. A page, a letter, and somewhere to sit down for a minute.

The Porch is a page and an email list. There are no member accounts, public profiles, forums, live chat, peer counselling, paid memberships or bookings here, and the site will not imply a staffed or moderated service.

Be seen

You don't have to perform being fine in here. Arrive as you are.

Be supported

Letters, songs and a place to sit. Nothing that asks you to be further along than you are.

Be kind

This is a courtesy. Whatever is said here stays gentle, including the way you're allowed to talk about yourself.

Belong

No membership, no hierarchy, no being left out of the good table.

Join the Porchlight

The Porchlight is a letter, not a campaign. New songs, new letters and the occasional note from the porch. Nothing else, and you can leave whenever you like.
