About Us: MyCWA is a beacon of hope for people in Cheshire affected by domestic abuse. In just the last year, we've helped nearly 4,000 individuals through services including a 24/7 helpline, recovery programmes, children's services, refuge accommodation, and behaviour change programmes.

Faced with a recent substantial funding cut, our ability to help the most vulnerable is at risk. Now, more than ever, engaging our community and attracting new donors is critical to enable us to continue our vital work.
