Women's Business Station, a new social enterprise in Dundee, received £10,000 funding from the Government's Tampon Tax Community Fund for a project aimed at empowering women supported by four Dundee charities.

The funding aims to provide a free service to charities supporting women affected by mental health, alcohol and substance abuse, and crime.

Launched in November 2019, Women's Business Station, builds on the legacy of the Coca-Cola 5by20 Dundee programme which offered courses and support for local women wishing to set up their own business.
