About us

Black Country Women’s Aid (formerly known as Sandwell Women’s Aid) is an independent charity which has supported survivors of abuse and exploitation in the West Midlands for 30 years. Our sensitive and holistic support helps over 8000 victims of abuse each year to escape from violence, cope with trauma and rebuild their lives. We believe that no-one should have to live in fear of violence and abuse. We listen, we support, we care. BCWA won Investors in People’s One to Watch Award and the Black Country Chamber of Commerce’s Small Business of the Year in 2015. BCWA was nominated for a Human Trafficking Foundation Award in 2017 for our outstanding contribution to the fight against modern slavery.

  • 💖 🐾Animals as bridges to healing 🐾💖 Animal therapy is a wonderful way of supporting individuals who have been through very difficult circumstances and fled homes where they did not feel safe. Animals have a unique way of breaking down barriers and reaching those with defence mechanisms and anxieties. By focusing on an animal, clients can find a sense of calm, speak openly, and begin to explore their deepest feelings about life experiences. The simple act of cuddling, touching, and stroking an animal can bring immense comfort. It helps clients feel more connected, stimulates their senses, and allows them to pause and truly be in the moment. Your support can make a world of difference💜 Would you like to donate or fundraise to help us offer this kind of work? Please reach out to our fundraising team at fundraising@blackcountrywomensaid.co.uk or donate online here: https://lnkd.in/eZd7Rygm

  • Reflecting on 2024: A year of support and resilience This year, more victims of abuse reached out for help, and more children and young people bravely shared their stories. Our “one door” approach has provided crucial support for those facing domestic abuse, sexual violence, childhood abuse, stalking, modern slavery, and more. In these challenging economic times, we remain steadfast in our mission. We’ve been a listening ear, a comforting hand, and a safe haven. Our presence in GP surgeries and NHS hospital A&Es has been vital for those in need. We are deeply grateful to our Trustees, staff, donors and volunteers for their unwavering dedication. As we look to 2025, we are committed to raising awareness, finding solutions, and protecting those affected by abuse. Thank you for standing with us. Together, we can make a difference. If we don’t, who will?
