At Kairos Women+ we pride ourselves on creating inclusive and accessible spaces for as many members of our community as possible. We recognise that accessibility needs are different for every person so we are constantly seeking to make improvements. We are keen to make adaptations to ensure your visit is as comfortable and safe as possible. We strongly encourage you to get in touch. We know adaptations are often seen as an inconvenience but that is not the case at Kairos Women+.
We encourage all new women+ to meet with a member of the team to find out more about Kairos, and any access needs you might have.
We are based at Embroidery Mill in Paisley. Find out how to find us on our contact page. We are located close to Paisley Gilmour Train Station and the local bus routes.
We have a translation app if English is your second language. In our recipe sharing group, Kairos Kitchen, flash cards and language learning are included.
Our space is wheelchair accessible with an accessible bathroom. We have considered ease of movement throughout the building to enable free movement whether you use a wheelchair, walking stick or frame. We welcome service dogs on leads.
You are welcome to bring a friend or companion such as a support worker. We encourage all professionals to arrive without lanyards.
We have a workshop every season with a BSL interpreter. To make a request for BSL within another group, just get in touch.
We have low lighting options in all our rooms and a quieter break out space.
Our drop-in groups are family-friendly and we welcome children of all ages. We also run family-friendly activities during the school holidays. Some of our activities include a mobile creche.
Teas, coffees plus snacks are free or 50p if you have pennies to spare!
We have one group a season with a BSL interpreter.
Get in touch if you are D/deaf and would benefit from an interpreter in any of our other groups.
I didn't know that my lived experience could fuel so much change. Coming to Kairos has given me the confidence to assert my rights. I feel I can speak my mind in places I never thought to
‘Kairos’ is an Ancient Greek word meaning: ‘the right, critical or opportune moment’. It’s that moment when conditions are just right for action or change – a Kairos moment!
‘Kairos’ is pronounced ‘kai – ross’. You can also find an audio recording of how it’s pronounced here!
We wanted to create a name that includes trans women and non-binary people. After a period of consultation, our community decided a ‘+’ symbol would indicate our commitment to inclusion and acceptance.
All of our spaces are designed for women (inclusive of trans women and non-binary people) and we have a small number of public events designed for the whole community. We are committed to keeping you safe at Kairos and if you have any questions about our approach, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and we will help you as best we can.
Of course! You can make a one off donation here. If you’d like to make a regular donation, please get in touch here or email katy@kairoswomen.org and we’d be delighted to help!
We are based in Paisley, Renfrewshire. Our address is: Unit 56-60 Embroidery Mill, Abbey Mill Business Centre, Paisley PA1 1TJ. We run most of our groups and activities from this space unless it tells you otherwise. Find out more on the What’s On page.
