Together We Are Stronger – Women’s Aid launches 24/25 Impact Report
Today we are proud to launch our Impact Report for 2024/25. As we look back on our 50th year as the national network of services providing support for survivors of domestic abuse, we can celebrate many achievements, including the significant impact Women’s Aid. has had on the sector, survivors and working towards a society where domestic abuse is no longer tolerated.
Key highlights include:
- Our federation now has 185 members delivering over 300 life-saving services across England.
- We reached 17.6 million people through our social media channels.
- We continued to support survivors with grants through the Flexible Fund, thanks to generous funding from the Home Office. In total the Home Office Flexible Fund supported 2,560 survivors.
- #TeamWomensAid stepped forward and raised a collective £46.1k.
- With support from our Experts by Experience, we continued to campaign for improved family courts. Women’s Aid responded to a consultation on potentially harmful changes in the family courts which would have made mediation mandatory. The dangerous measures were successfully overturned.
- We launched ‘The Price of Safety”, which showed the cost to leave an abuser. Even with state support, survivors still face a deficit of over £10,000 and this doubled for survivors who do not have recourse to public funds because of their immigration status.
“I continue to be proud of our federation and the life-saving work that they do, providing help when it is most needed, despite the increasingly challenging funding climate. We must continue our movement, uniting across the sector and society to end domestic abuse and build a future where women and children are safe.”
