About Birmingham & Solihull Women's Aid
Birmingham and Solihull Women’s Aid supports women and children affected by domestic violence, rape and sexual assault. We believe that women and children have the right to live free from violence, abuse and fear.
We provide:
* Telephone helpline
* Community-based and central drop-in services
* Safe, emergency accommodation through six refuges
* Outreach support in the community
* Help with criminal and civil legal proceedings
* Family support
* Training for professionals including the Police, Heath, Social Care and Education
* Awareness raising work with children and young people
We work in close partnership with local agencies to ensure the best outcomes for women and their children. Our one-to-one, tailored support services deliver long-term, positive outcomes for women and their children by addressing all of their needs including poverty, debt, homelessness, housing, legal issues, health and wellbeing.
We engage strategically and are represented on the Violence Against Women Board, Birmingham Community Safety Partnership and Birmingham Local Safeguarding Children’s Board.
