Getting Involved

In the last financial year (2007/08) Welsh Women's Aid member groups provided support to over 5000 families within the local community - either by providing refuge provision, or by providing support to them within their local community.

Welsh Women's Aid member groups were unable to provide for over 2500 requests for accommodation. One of the primary reasons for this was due to lack of space and funding.

Find out how you can help us support thousands of women and children every year.
