How you can help
Support Cyfannol Women’s Aid with a donation or by raising awareness
Raising Awareness
One of our biggest challenges is getting people to talk about domestic abuse and changing people’s perceptions of domestic abuse and violence against women.
You can help by:
- Telling women and children about Cyfannol Women’s Aid. We cannot help unless people know we are here.
- Asking for our leaflets for yourself, your friends or your workplace and display them prominently.
