Welcome
|
Basildon Women's Aid is a charitable organisation providing a refuge for women and their children who have been victims of domestic violence, which may be physical, mental or sexual.
Many hundreds of women have taken refuge with us since the refuge opened in 1977. The refuge offers an escape route from violence and a chance to seek alternatives to a life of danger, isolation and fear.
|
Almost all domestic violence is directed by men against women, but it can and does occur in lesbian and gay relationships and in a very small minority of cases, by women against men. Although this web-site can be used by everyone who is in a violent relationship, it is mainly addressing women.
IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO LIVE FREE FROM FEAR.

Charity Ball 2013
Basildon Women’s Aid Friends of Refuge Kids are holding their 5th Charity Ball
on 27th September 2013
Last September, Friends of Refuge Kids, held the fourth successful Charity Ball at Orsett Hall, Thurrock, to raise much needed funds for children who are resident in our refuges. These children have often been subjected to physical, mental and sexual abuse and need to leave their home and familiar environment, sometimes in fear for their own safety as well as that of their mother. Sometimes the family arrives with little more than the clothes they are standing up in, leaving all possessions behind.
The events planning team are pleased to announce that in an effort to raise further funds we have arranged another Charity Ball on Friday, 27th September 2013 at Orsett Hall. This fabulous evening will be a fun and prestigious event giving the opportunity to support children whose lives have been affected by abuse.
More information about the Charity Ball can be found on our Events page. |
