Women’s Aid Federation of England

Women’s Aid is the national charity working to end domestic abuse against women and children. Since 1974, we have been at the forefront of shaping and coordinating responses to domestic violence and abuse through practice, research and policy. We empower survivors by keeping their voices at the heart of our work, working with and for women and children by listening to them and responding to their needs.

We are a federation of over 180 organisations who provide just under 300 local lifesaving services to women and children across the country.

To ensure survivors receive the best support possible, we provide expert training, qualifications and consultancy to a range of agencies and professionals working with survivors or commissioning domestic abuse services, and award a National Quality Mark for services which meet our quality standards. We hold the largest national data set on domestic abuse, and use research and evidence to inform all of our work.

Our campaigns achieve change in policy, practice and awareness, encouraging healthy relationships and helping to build a future where domestic abuse is no longer tolerated. We successfully campaigned to make coercive and controlling behaviour a criminal offence in 2015 and over the years have secured investment from the government to help fund specialist domestic violence refuges.

Giveacar and its donors are proud supporters of Women’s Aid, as they work hard to end domestic abuse. If you’re planning to scrap or sell your car, give a car instead to prevent harm in the home. Your donation can make a difference and ensure no one is subject with violence behind closed doors. Do a good deed and help them continue this work by making Women’s Aid the charity you support when you donate your car to charity.
