WAITS is an established charity which has collaborated with women who are experiencing or have experienced domestic abuse for almost 30 years.
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 support women, on a one to one basis, to address a range of issues such as welfare benefits, resettlement/housing issues, domestic abuse, isolation, physical and mental health, crime, the fear of crime and much more. Unlike some other organisations, our services are not time-bound, meaning we are able to offer ongoing support for as long as it is needed. We offer 4 key services that provide one-to-one ongoing practical and holistic empowerment and support for women.
