LEEDS WOMEN’S AID

We are thrilled to announce our charity partnership with Leeds Women’s Aid.

Leeds Women’s Aid is an independent charity based in Leeds, providing outstanding services to women and children affected by Domestic Violence & Abuse (DV & A). We believe all women and children should live in safety, free from abuse and fear.

We provide a range of support services for vulnerable women and families who are victims and survivors of: domestic, sexual & honour-based violence and abuse; forced marriage; trafficking; stalking and harassment. 

Our services include a 24/7 telephone helpline; webchat, emergency refuge accommodation, discreet drop-in services; healthy relationship programmes, legal support and advocacy and specialised support for children and young people.

“We are delighted that Northern Lights Leeds has chosen Leeds Women’s Aid as one of their charity partners for this year’s Christmas Light Trail at Temple Newsam. The funds raised will help us to continue to provide a wide range of vital services, from immediate assistance through our Helpline to ongoing and intensive support, including emergency refuge accommodation. This partnership is especially crucial as December and Christmas can be a tough time for women and children and often the abuse they are experiencing is more frequent and severe, making our services more essential than ever.”
