Boston Women's Aid (BWA) relies on grants, donations
and sponsorship in order to keep our valuable and much needed services
running.
Without your support we would not have been able to
offer the services and help that we do for women and children suffering
violence and abuse. Please help us to continue this work!
Here are some suggestions about ways you can help us to help others
...
Here's how you can help us!
• Make a grant or donation towards the work of Boston Women's
Aid or, if you prefer, to a specific project, for example the Boston
Women's Centre appeal.
Help raise funds for us whilst you search on Internet

• If you are a UK tax payer you can help your donation go further
by making a Gift Aid declaration. BWA can then reclaim the tax you have
paid on your donation, currently 28p for every £1 you give.
• Support bwa through Give As You Earn - a tax effective method
for regular giving. Contact us for a give as you earn form or find out
more at www.giveasyouearn.org
• Sponsor an activity or project.
• Remember us in your will.
• Encourage your business, workplace or union to support bwa.
• Organise fund-raising events for BWA. For example, hold a coffee
morning, a table top or jumble sale, do a sponsored event, etc., etc.
• Learn all you can about Domestic Abuse. Invite BWA to provide
Domestic Abuse awareness training or give a talk about our work to your
workplace or community group. (There may be a charge for this).
• Donate good quality, clean clothes, toiletries and household
items, etc. to bwa. Many women arrive at the refuge with nothing but
the clothes they have on.
• Finally, help build the foundations for the future. Believe
children, women or men when they tell you that they are experiencing
Domestic Abuse. Break the taboo and talk about Domestic Abuse. Challenge
the myths and stereotypes that surround Domestic Abuse and abuse, because
it is these assumptions that make it harder for people to get help!
