"It's devastated all of us, many of us were in tears, we're in shock, disbelief, at the fact that we're having our safety net, our hospital taken away from us," said group member Pip Swan.

"We've been running that group for 15 years now, in that same room, and to think that's going to shut down is damaging all of us."

"For some women in this group, the only thing they get to do is go to that group. They don't leave their houses otherwise, and they've just lost their safety net altogether."
