Our Mission
To provide support, advocacy and domestic abuse services to everyone who comes to us experiencing domestic abuse.
To provide safe refuge accommodation for women and their children who are affected by domestic abuse and violence.
Our vision
Everyone should be able to live free from the fear and experience of domestic abuse and violence in their homes and relationships.
BWA Values
All BWA activities are underpinned by a set of values adopted by the organisation’s volunteers, staff, management and trustees:
Welcoming and empowering – we listen, encourage and empower
informed choices
Places of safety – we provide environments where anyone using our services can talk freely, live safely and think about the future
We do not judge – we listen and provide an environment where people using the service can recognise that some aspects of their life are not the way they want them to be
Trust – you can trust us: confidentiality is paramount and people using our service can count on professional, highly skilled support
Equality – we believe in providing support to anyone who needs it, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, religion, age, sexual orientation or disability
Raising awareness – We encourage everyone to understand domestic abuse and violence, to seek support and report concerns.
