Perthshire Women's Aid
Why you should vote for Perthshire Women's Aid for the People’s Choice Award
Perthshire Women’s Aid provides information and support to women, children, and young people experiencing or recovering from domestic abuse.
This year, as we mark our charity’s 50th anniversary, our mission remains vital. Over 1300 referrals were received this year, and 92% of women completing service evaluations reported they felt safer after our support. Despite ongoing demand for our services and active waiting lists, like many third sector organisations, we faced financial uncertainty and the risk of service cuts. However, thanks to perseverance and strong partnerships, we continued delivering vital services expanding to offer face-to-face counselling in remote areas of Perthshire, teen wellbeing groups, and bespoke family support. We also increased our office capacity to better support women and children.
