Since 1984, Arachne has provided welfare advice and support, accessible groups and classes, and volunteering opportunities to help vulnerable women across Islington and Greater London improve their lives and reach their full potential.
We also create opportunities to celebrate the Greek and Greek Cypriot culture and community.
Our vision at Arachne is a society where women can realise their full potential, and keep the Greek and Greek Cypriot culture alive.
