“Light a Candle” to mark International Day to End Violence Against Women

BAWSO Women’s Aid and Welsh Women’s Aid are organising this year’s annual ecumenical "Light a Candle" service in Llandaff Cathedral to mark International Day to End Violence Against Women ("White Ribbon Day"), please see the agenda.

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.
