Manchester Women's Aid

Manchester Women's Aid We offer information, advice, & support about domestic abuse in all its forms. Need to talk? 0161 660 7999 Support can be given on the telephone or face to face.

Everyone says that you have the right to live your life free from fear, violence and abuse…but sometimes it is difficult to know whether you are in an abusive relationship. Domestic Abuse is about how people use their power to control someone in a relationship – it can involve physical, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse. If you think you have experienced abuse from your partner, ex-partner or

a close family member, or you are being forced into marriage – please call us and talk to someone. Manchester Women’s Aid Domestic Abuse Service offers information, advice and support about domestic and sexual abuse/violence. Some of the things we can help with might be:

• Someone to help you try to stay safe and help you live life free from fear.
• Someone to help you speak to other agencies about what you need.
• A referral to a solicitor or immigration advisor.
• Somewhere safe to stay.
• Advise on debt and welfare benefits. Men can also experience domestic or sexual abuse/violence and our Outreach Service Team can provide support for men living in fear.

At one of our many previous Drop-ins, we enjoyed a drumming circle, using music and rhythm as a powerful tool for healing, self-expression, and wellbeing. Alongside opportunities to connect with others in a welcoming space, activities like these encourage creativity, build confidence, and support positive mental health.

A HUGE congratulations to our wonderful charity partners, Holker-IT , and their amazing (and probably very tired!) Finance and Purchasing team!

Last weekend, they braved the heat and conquered Pen-y-ghent, all while raising vital funds for MWA. Their determination has truly paid off, with an incredible £1,310 raised so far!

Every pound will help support our life-saving services, making a real difference to the people who rely on us. If you'd like to celebrate their achievement and help them go even further, please consider donating to their fundraising page today by following this link: https://www.justgiving.com/page/holker-it-finance-and-purchasing-4

Three weeks into office, we are calling on Andy Burnham to ensure that women and girls remain at the heart of his government’s priorities.

From sustainable funding for frontline specialist domestic abuse services, to recognising women's experiences of rough sleeping and investing in community-led organisations, these are three key actions that can help drive meaningful progress towards ending violence against women and girls.

Long-term change requires long-term commitment. The specialist services supporting women, children and families across Greater Manchester need the resources and stability to continue delivering vital support.
