How can you help?

Glasgow Women‘s Aid relies on donations to help provide its services to the 5,000 women and their children who contact us on a yearly basis.

Making a donation could help make a difference to the women and children who we support.

• 1 in 4 women experience domestic abuse at some point in their lives.
• On average, 2 women per week are killed by a male partner or ex-partner in the UK.
• In 90% of domestic abuse cases, children were in the same room or in the room next door of where the abuse took place against the woman.

£5 could help purchase materials for a child to take part in a children‘s group actvity like baking or an arts and crafts project to gain confidence and encourage involvement with others.

£10 could help provide an emergency pack for a woman fleeing domestic abuse. In the majority of cases, women turn up at GWA with only the clothes on her back. This could help to provide essential items such as toiletries, nappies and food.

£20 could allow for a woman to take part in an activity with other women in refuge like yoga or stress management to help build her self esteem and health and well-being.

£50 could help cover costs for a child to have a session with our Play Therapist. This includes travel,subsistence, materials and equipment.

Every donation, regardless of the amount, will help make a difference to the women, children and young people who access our support and services.
