Solace was set up in 2010 by a group of women who were concerned about the difficulties facing revert women both in the short and long term and their variety of needs. Recognising the need for an organisation with the aim of supporting revert women through their various difficulties led to the creation of Solace.

We are a group of women serving other women. If you’d like to join our team, apply to the vacancies below, or volunteer!
