Where does my money go?
One in five women in Ireland is affected by domestic violence. Help us be there for her when she picks up the phone. For over 40 years, Women's Aid has been helping women and children who are suffering from domestic violence. We've helped thousands of women and their children to live safer, happier lives, free from abuse. By signing up to run, walk or jog the VHI Women's Mini Marathon you will help us to continue our work to support thousands of women and children in Ireland affected by abuse.
Your donation will help fund our vital services including National Freephone Helpline 1800 341 900 (24 hours a day, 7 Days a week) and our One to One Support Services which provide support and information to women affected by domestic violence.
