We believe in the right of everyone to live free from fear and abuse.
OUR PURPOSE
We were established with the following aims:
WHAT WE DO
Supporting those who have experienced domestic abuse is at the core of everything we do, even though we don’t provide services directly.
We understand each person’s circumstances are different and that survivors need different services at different times.
Our current sphere of activity involves raising awareness of domestic abuse and raising money via donations and events for local families. We help those unable to access statutory sources of funding by working with local direct services providers.
OUR
HISTORY
Chester Women’s Aid has been in existence since 1976, when we set up Chester Refuge and ran 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, and the charity withdrew from the management of the refuge.
Chester Women’s Aid continues to support the refuge and other local specialist domestic abuse services to this day, improving community awareness.
