Setting up a hub type thing for young women

I come from quite a deprived area, I've managed to do quite well after leaving home quite early, and in my late 20s am now fairly successful. I'd like to go back to my old area and set up some sort of scheme for young women/late teen girls to provide support with things I never had/was never taught. AIBU to think this is a good idea? I don't really know how it would work but rough idea as follows:
Sessions on:
Recognising DA, unhealthy relationships
How to get out of a bad relationship
Mortgages and rent
How tax works
Setting up as self employed/interview training
Dealing with sexual assault and harassment at work
Dealing with CSA and contact with father's, protecting your child(high teenage pregnancy rate)
Contraception
Budgeting, what to do if you get into debt
General confidence, team building etc
Dealing with homelessness, grooming etc
Cooking and shopping lists (you would be surprised at how many people from the area can't cook)

Now I've started writing it down I keep thinking of more to add. I don't know how I would format something like this, so was wondering if anyone had done anything similar, and had any tips. I was thinking of either weekly sessions, with some sort of childcare/can bring children, or drop in, and would have to get some sort of funding as no one would come if they had to pay. I don't really know! Any ideas?

I think it’s an absolutely fabulous idea. Contact your local council/any fundraising/charity support teams and see if there’s any budget for funding. I sadly have no tips for you in the department of how it would work/setting it up, but I think weekly sessions where individuals can bring their children is a great idea and perhaps if you can find any other groups online which run as a similar set up they can give you some tips/tricks. As a side suggestion, I’d recommend perhaps setting up a Facebook page and filming some of your content. Maybe five minute videos at a time explaining little snippets of information about the different topics, simply because personally I wouldn’t attend a group class but would rather access information online. Good luck!

I have no idea but this sounds amazing.
