During Covid-19, staying home hasn't meant staying safe for everyone. Many women have been in lockdown with abusive partners, feeling trapped and isolated. As we navigate further lockdowns, we want you to know that Women's Aid is here for you #WeAreWomensAid#16DaysofAction
Tomorrow the High Court in Belfast will hear an emergency Judicial Review in relation to the extensions of Non- Molestation Orders. At a time when women need more protection than ever this is a crucial case @NIAJusticeComm@naomi_long@AllisonMorris1@BBCJayneMcC @JudeHill_utv

Very privledged to be named on the #NewYearsHonours list for services to domestic and sexual violence. This is for everyone involved in the Women’s Aid Helpline and what became an amazing frontline core service so fortunate to do what I do and continue to work @WomensAidNI 🙏
To all those who have donated to our Christmas appeal. Thank you. Just when we think we won't be able to give the help that's needed old friends, new friends, the anonymous, the photo shy begin to arrive.
Food hampers from the Church of the King of Glory and Grace. These lovely women did bring a gorgeous toddler and two week old baby with them and still found time for us. Really kind.
Surprise visit from Cllr Quigley and Ryan from Portstewart Clothing Company. Gifts galore and these busy bees had been on the road all day delivering gifts far and wide. So appreciated.
Great evening with Portballintrae Community Development Association. They are working hard for a Girona Centre but gave all proceeds fro their Christmas concert to Causeway Women's Aid. Wishing them every success and huge thanks for their support.
How many Santa's on scooters with presents have you seen before? Great visit from Northern Coasters Scooter Club. Great gifts, cool scooters and just one stop on their travels that day to support a number of community groups. So kind and appreciated.
