More about SEEKER's

The women's group has embarked on a series of training sessions to help them to gain confidence, self-awareness, leadership and knowledge about varied decision-making systems, and how to influence them to be more favourable to BAME survivors of domestic abuse.   


WAITS and the SEEKERS Board organises annual conferences bringing together survivors, advocates, and experts to shine a spotlight on the pervasive barriers within critical sectors.


We create opportunities for women to use their voice locally and nationally and identify the forums for influencing to ensure Seekers have a seat at the table.
