| Recipient Org: Description | Womens Aid East and Midlothian have been providing support, advice, information and refuge accommodation to women, children and young people who are or have experienced domestic abuse for over thirty years. We support women who wish to remain in their relationship, or those who need to flee from violence in order to protect themselves and their children. We do not judge because we understand the dynamics of domestic abuse. Our organisation currently offers support sessions on a 1:1 basis, drop-in crisis intervention and domestic abuse group work sessions. We offer women and children refuge accommodation. We provide transitional support to women when moving into their own accommodation, advocate at solicitor appointments, court dates, child protection and adult protection meetings. Our organisation has grown to meet demand and we now offer a much wider range of services within Midlothian and East Lothian. All of our refuge accommodation has remained full and we are currently operating a waiting list for this much needed service. We support a variety of women and children from diverse backgrounds, as violence against women and children is not limited to one social strata. In violence against women provision it is accepted that a woman may suffer 35 attacks before they will make contact with services. This may be even longer for the women who have additional support needs such as substance misuse and mental health issues which creates additional barriers. |
