"We believe in the right of all women to live free from fear and abuse.
Chester Women’s Aid has been in existence since 1976, setting up Chester Refuge and running it with volunteers. 1989 marked a change when the Committee joined with a Housing Association to provide paid staff to support residents. 2002 brought more changes as the charity Committee and the housing provider parted company with the charity withdrawing from the management of the refuge.
The Charity continued support to the refuge, and other specialist domestic abuse services, establishing the following aims:
Provision of support to women and children who have experienced domestic abuse, in the form of grants for crisis needs and funding for activities
Raising awareness of and being an independent voice on issues surrounding domestic abuse
Monitoring the provision of services for women who have experienced domestic abuse and promoting good practice amongst other agencies
Supporting the availability of good quality accommodation for women and children who have experienced domestic abuse
Supporting and promoting interagency co-operation and knowledge exchange
Our current programme of work includes:
White Ribbon Day
International Women’s Day Festival
Fundraising to support local women and children
Supporting the local training programme"
