Our Main Services
WAITS staff & trustees
Our team is made up of a dedicated and committed team of women from varied backgrounds that share our common Vision & Mission.
This includes full-time, part-time and sessional staff as well as our volunteers and the Board of Trustees.
We also work with a range of other agencies to provide holistic support, ensuring that all of the individual’s needs are met.
A valued fundraiser team
WAITS Ambassadors are a group of innovative and forward thinking people, diverse in their backgrounds, experiences and skills.
But the one thing they do all have very much in common is a passion for helping women who are in crisis!
They provide invaluable fundraising ideas; and then plan, organise and facilitate these ideas, helping us to raise funds to support women in crisis.
Making it all possible
WAITS receives sponsorship and support from a variety of sources and just some of them are featured on this page.
We have also been recipients of awards for good practice and engagement and some of these will be listed on this page.
