Women Acting In Today’s Society (WAITS)

WAITS is a specialist in supporting women from Black and ethnic minority communities. We understand the cultural and religious barriers that prevent women escaping domestic abuse.

We offer four key services that provide one-to-one ongoing practical and holistic empowerment and support for women.

1. Domestic Abuse Service – supporting women in the  Probation Service, or at risk of offending, who have experienced/are currently experiencing domestic abuse.
2. Community Integration Project – supporting women who have offended in the past or who are at risk of offending/re-offending in the future.
3. Women’s Refuge – supporting women who are fleeing from, or who are facing homelessness due to domestic abuse.
4. Volunteering and Influencing – Supporting women into work, though Employability skills, workshops and Work Placements. Empowering Women to participate in Public Forums, hold consultations and inform Public policy and service provision.
