About DWJ

A lifeline wrapped in dignity

Dinner with Jesus is a women-led community initiative founded in 2009, originally created as a safe and supportive book club for women experiencing domestic violence, emotional distress and social isolation.

What began as small monthly gatherings in homes and community centres has grown into a trusted support network providing emotional, mental and practical support to women across the community.

Safe Spaces for Women

Mingle & Unwind Evenings

Our Mingle & Unwind sessions create safe spaces where women can share experiences without judgment, build supportive relationships, access emotional and mental health support, and enjoy community, reflection and nourishment.

These evenings have evolved into a true sisterhood — a place for women to connect, breathe, heal and grow together.
