Who are we?

We are a group of support workers from Coventry Haven Women's Aid who are very passionate about the work we do for those who are or have been subjected to Domestic Violence and Abuse.

As with a New Year comes new challenges and this is something we wanted to do as a group of women to personally challenge ourselves but also to raise funds to support the services we provide.

A bit about Coventry Haven Women's Aid:

We began in 1972 and have grown to become a small, community-based, grass roots, registered charity which is run by women for women.

Our aim is to help women and their children who have been or are being subjected to, domestic abuse in any form to free themselves from the situation they are in.

We do this by providing safe housing and a range of support services, before during and after leaving their abusive partner/family member. We will assist through the whole journey.

We support all women irrespective of whether they want to leave the relationship or not, older women, younger women, historic or current abuse; any woman.

We will assist with any other issues someone may be suffering along side the abuse, for example surrounding: immigration, discrimination, disability, LGBT+, housing, debt management, alcohol and drug abuse, multiple needs, or no recourse to public funds (NRPF).
These services are run by staff and volunteers and are free of charge.
