What We Do ..


We offer four core services which aim to support women to achieve their goals, feel empowered and to assist in gaining independence.


“Women with the power to make and influence decisions and make positive change”


WAITS works with other agencies to provide holistic support, ensuring that all of the individual’s needs are met. We also directly support women with the core services that we offer.

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.

WAITS Ambassadors

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.
