Honoured that our work on training police officers and sign language interpreters to work with deaf women experiencing domestic abuse has been shortlisted as finalist in the Scottish Knowdge Exchange Awards for “making a social difference”. Wouldn’t have been possible without our close partnership with Police Scotland.

Thanks to all the victims/survivors for sharing to make this happening.

A reminder that the Scottish Government’s Fund to Leave is open to applications. The fund offers women based in Scotland up to £1,000 for essentials to support the costs of leaving, planning to leave or staying left from an abusive relationship. This might include costs related to moving home or increasing safety to enable a woman to remain in her own home.

The fund is limited and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis by fund delivery partners, which include participating Women’s Aid services and other specialist delivery services.

Application and participating services details are available here: https://ow.ly/TEPJ50YeXJP
