Woman's Trust

The charity was originally established by a group of survivors and Counsellors to meet the gap in specialist mental health services, designed by and for women, to ensure that women affected by DA can live a life free from further harm and abuse.

This is a pivotal time to join the Woman’s Trust Communication’s team, as we want to proactively generate more awareness of our work, capitalising on our unique position in the women’s and mental health sectors by ensuring that the public and key stakeholders understand the impact of our work; that we can generate more support and funding for what we do, helping more women as a result; and that we can influence public policy to ensure even more survivors of domestic abuse have access to specialist mental health support.
