Survivors' support group
Broxtowe
Women’s Project is a Women’s Aid organisation offering outreach support to
women experiencing domestic violence, primarily operating in the North of
Broxtowe and Stapleford area. Our
information and awareness raising extends across the whole of the borough.
Our work assists to reduce isolation, empower and equip women with knowledge and skills and ensure that vulnerable women have access to a wider range of resources. Research reflects that women supported by women's aid organisations have increased confidence; they have made life-changing decisions through being able to talk through what is happening in their lives.
Broxtowe Women’s Project is delighted to be able to offer to women who live in the Broxtowe Borough the opportunity to attend an 8 week free domestic violence programmes which aim to raise women’s awareness of domestic violence, improve self-confidence and encourage women not to self blame for the abuse experienced. The courses will be held in the Eastwood area every Thursday morning during term times and run on a fortnightly basis. Transport can be provided to women from other areas in the Broxtowe borough. We are also providing childcare to enable women with young children to access the programme.
Women who attended the last short programme have found it beneficial in a number of ways, one woman commented ‘I’ve found the support group programme really useful and I’ve got more confidence’ and another woman fed back that she had ‘really enjoyed all the relaxing activities we have done, whilst discussing issues around domestic violence’ another woman thought that the best thing about the group was ‘being ‘believed’ and meeting people who understand and make you feel much less alone.’ One woman sums up her thoughts on the group experience ‘So glad I came, thank you for giving me the opportunity to maybe help other women get free and be treated the way they deserve to be.’
