It is always a wonderful thing to know that our residents have felt welcome and are comfortable at the refuge. This resident wanted to thank the Practitioners for making her feel so welcome. #Welcome #Flowers #ThankYou #LocalRefuge #SupportYourLocalRefuge #DomesticAbuseRecovery

The children in one of our refuges had a brilliant time doing some crafts and Biscuit decorating. Activities like this with the children staying in our refuges is very important as it enables them to focus on something creative, to express themselves.

50 Years of Women's Aid ⭐️

2024 marks 50 years since the Women's Aid federation in England was founded, that officially makes this our golden anniversary. While there's been a lot of positive change since 1974, the reality for a lot of women today is far from golden.

We’re right in the middle of the summer holidays, and the TV at one of our largest refuges has just stopped working!
Lots of our families, especially the newer ones, don’t feel safe outside the refuge. If you have a smart TV you could donate, contact [email protected]

URGENT APPEAL
We have had a young mum arrive in refuge with nothing at all. She has two children aged 2 and 9 months. She desperately needs a pram or pushchair for the 9 month old. She also needs some clothing in size 12/14.
If you can help, please email [email protected]

We desperately need soft furnishings to help make our refuge accommodation feel more homely.

14th July is the National Day of Remembrance for victims of honour-based abuse.

This date was chosen as it marks the birthday of Shafilea Ahmed, who was murdered in Warrington in 2003 by her parents in a so-called ‘honour-based’ killing.

We will remember her.

Thankyou so much!

Today we stand in solidarity with survivors, particularly the seven alleged women who have come forward with evidence against #AndrewTate. At Women’s Aid, we will continue to call out sexism and misogyny to bring perpetrators to justice.
