MIKE HEDGES AM WELCOMES NEWS THAT SWANSEA WOMENS AID PROJECT HAS BEEN SUCESSFUL WITH A NATIONAL LOTTTERY AWARD.

Swansea East Mike Hedges AM said….. ‘This award is really good news; I have met with people who have already benefited from this work of this great organisation. They provide a huge amount of support for people fleeing the scourge of domestic abuse. I am so pleased that this award will enable them to develop services which will benefit the whole of Swansea. I look forward to following the progress of the organisation as it develops this service. If you are in an abusive relationship please seek support and advice from Swansea Women’s Aid’

Swansea Women’s Aid will expand the current DAISE project to incorporate a triage worker at their One Stop Shop, further focus on one to one appointments and introduce further opportunities for mindfulness and counselling. The project activities will be delivered at their main base in Swansea Centre and throughout surrounding areas in existing family centres. The project aims to engage with at least 1,200 women suffering from Domestic Abuse or Sexual Abuse in Swansea.  The £482,109 grant, over two years, will cover staffing costs and other related revenue delivery costs.
