Belfast and Lisburn Women’s Aid provide a range of support services to women and children experiencing domestic abuse. These support services include emergency accommodation, specialist counselling, group work, personal development programmes, and one-to-one support. They also campaign for legislative change and constantly seek to raise awareness of the impact of domestic abuse with various online and social campaigns.

“We are very busy here in Women’s Aid as the demands on our services just seem to be endless. The donations received via the Foundation’s Christmas Appeal make such a difference to the lives of the women and children we support, it can really be life changing! One of our women told us last year that she had no money to buy food for Christmas and presents for the children were just not an option. However, support from the Foundation offered her the chance to have a proper Christmas with her children. Your support is invaluable, and we are so thankful for your generous giving!”
