Who we are
Based in Stockbridge, Edinburgh Women’s Aid is a safe and friendly all-female organisation. We provide support and refuge to women and children who are experiencing domestic abuse.
2,500 women a year benefit from our services. So if you’re in an abusive situation, or think you are at risk of abuse from your partner or ex-partner, we can help.
Edinburgh Women’s Aid offers lots of different kinds of support, including:
- Crisis line
- One-to-one support and advice,
either in person or by phone - Legal advice
- Refuge in safe homes
- Support when you have moved into your own accommodation
- Support if you find it difficult to get to
our main office through Outreach service
