Hull Women’s Aid (HWA) is the sole provider of safe and secure refuge accommodation on the north bank of the Humber for women and children fleeing domestic abuse.
HWA supports women and children who are experiencing/fleeing domestic violence/abuse, by providing temporary accommodation, telephone and direct advice and individual support to any woman who requests it. We work with partner organisations to improve the quality of life for women and children who are living with/fleeing domestic abuse. We also provide a Floating Support Service which offers a tenancy support service to vulnerable women and children, who have experienced domestic abuse to improve their ability to live independently and free from abuse in their own tenancies. We can offer-
• Someone to talk to who understands the emotions and turmoil you are feeling,
• Someone who understands how difficult it is to leave and how difficult it is to stay,
• Someone who will listen and support, and who will not judge you.
• Trained staff in areas relating to domestic abuse.
• Advice on benefits, housing, legal, court matters and accessing other services.
• Provision of emotional support and counselling
We are committed to ensuring that current and potential service users, will not be discriminated against on the grounds of social circumstances or background, gender, race, colour, ethnic origin, disability, sexually, age or religion.
