Trafford Women’s Aid is a registered charity offering support to individuals and families who are affected by domestic abuse. We were established in 1990, since then our services have changed and developed, yet have consistently demonstrated our dedication to work to end abuse against women. The remit of our service has now changed so that we are able to support male victims of domestic abuse as well as women who live or work in the Trafford Area.

We all work hard to empower our service users and the community with the confidence, skills and knowledge to maximise positive changes and minimise the harm abuse causes.

Trafford Women’s Aid workers can help if you or someone you know is being affected by domestic abuse.

We will listen to you, and give you a safe space to decide what you would like to do.

We will not tell you what to do, blame or judge you.

Domestic Abuse can happen to anyone – it has no regard for your sex, your age, the amount of money you have, where you live, what ethnicity you are, whether you are gay or straight or transgender, or even if you are religious or not.

Please have a look around our website for information about us and our services.
