About us
We actively seek to eliminate discrimination, harassment or victimisation as defined in the Equality Act 2010 on the grounds of: religion, race, age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, or disability.
We work to ensure that staff, visitors and service users feel safe, welcomed, valued, included and respected.
What we do
- Outreach work – work with women who come to MDWA for support, who may remain in their own home, or have not been admitted to refuge yet.
- Follow on work – this service enables women, children and young people to receive support once they have been re-housed into their new community
- Training, development and awareness raising – MDWA strives to raise awareness, locally and nationally, on the effects of domestic abuse on women, children and young people, including talks to community groups.
- The organisation also promotes personal development of its members and service users.
- Refuge accommodation
- Individual support and group support.
