Service provided by Women Acting In Today’s Society (WAITS)
WAITS Volunteering and Influencing (VI) Project
The Volunteering and Influencing (VI) Project supports our clients through their holistic recovery of domestic abuse.
Volunteers recruited at WAITS help in the smooth running of the charity. We recruit volunteer befrienders and counsellors to support women emotionally and psychologically.
Our Volunteers are kind and generous people who commit their time and skills to tackling domestic abuse and its associated impacts.
Our volunteers are our trustees, befrienders, WAITS Ambassadors, social media officers and many more, and we are appreciative of all their hard work and dedication. Read more here >
Work Experience
As we empower our clients to achieve their goals, we find suitable and rewarding works experience placements to inspire our clients to learn, grow and be a part of their community, so that they can become economically independent.
Influencing
At the heart of WAITS is our influencing, enabling women to have a voice.
We help them build their understanding of the policies that govern us, and develop the skills to participate in forums and decision making processes.
Workshops & Courses
Clients attend weekly therapeutic workshops. Workshops are aimed at developing skills and reducing social isolation.
