from their website
"Angus Women’s Aid offers a free, confidential service to women living in Angus, regardless of her age, race, ethnicity, sexuality, disability or religion, who has experienced domestic abuse. Domestic abuse can take many forms such as verbal, physical, sexual and emotional. It can leave the victim feeling frightened, insecure, degraded, depressed, or trapped.

We can provide support over the phone, in our office or anywhere safe in Angus. We will support you whether you want to leave your partner or not.

We will respect your confidentiality at all times. We provide emotional support, practical support, including settling in to a new area, help to seek legal/benefits advice, housing support, an outreach service and refuge-a safe place to stay.

Our aim is to empower women across Angus to explore their options and make safe choices.

There is no excuse for domestic abuse."
