Basildon Womens Aid Services in Essex Shopping Directory

    

BWA offers temporary accommodation for women of all ages, races and cultures, with or without children. The refuge is a communal home with shared facilities for twelve families; residents give support to, and receive support from, each other helping to ease the feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence. We also have a total of sixteen selfcontained ‘move on’ units of accommodation for families. Our residents pay an accommodation fee which is usually covered by housing benefit. The remainder of our funding comes from public funding and charitable donations. Some women, despite suffering domestic abuse, do not wish to leave home, and they are supported through the Parklands Women’s Centre, and Voice Satellite Surgeries. We also offer an extensive programme of talks and training sessions to voluntary and statutory organisations and schools.
