What is Women’s
Aid?
We are a charitable organisation for women
and children whose lives have been affected by Domestic abuse. Domestic
abuse can be shown in many forms such as physical, emotional, sexual and
financial.
Women can self-refer or can be referred by another
agency. You do not have to have children to receive support from us. You
do not need an appointment.
We offer various aspects of
support from our service which include safe accommodation, Housing
support, counselling, advocacy, 24hr on call service, outreach support
(home visits) and drop-in centre.
Our service is free,
confidential and non-judgmental with friendly welcoming staff that will
offer a safe place to talk. We believe everyone has the right to live a
life free from abuse and harm, and they are not to blame for being
abused.
We give options and solutions to each individual’s
circumstances so they are informed to make safe decisions and take back
control of their own life.
