ABOUT WOMEN'S AID

A lifeline for women and their families up and down the UK

Women’s Aid is the national charity working to end domestic abuse against women and children.

As a federation of over 220 organisations, they provide more than 300 local lifesaving services to women and children across the country and have been at the forefront of shaping and coordinating responses to domestic violence and abuse through practice for over 40 years.

​

They empower survivors by keeping their voices at the heart of our work, working with and for women and children by listening to them and responding to their needs.

They provide expert training, qualifications and consultancy to a range of agencies. This includes professionals working with survivors or those commissioning domestic abuse services and award a National Quality Mark for services which meet their quality standards.

​

Finally, their campaigns achieve change in policy, practice and awareness, encouraging healthy relationship and helping to build a future where domestic abuse is no longer tolerated.
