Women’s Aid has launched a NEW web chat service for women suffering domestic abuse.

The web chat comes in anticipation of an increase in service demand as the current lockdown restrictions are eased and will allow women to access immediate support and referral to lifesaving, crisis accommodation and outreach services, without having to pick up the phone

It is hoped the new facility will help women reach out where a phone call is not a safe or viable option.

• The web chat is accessible from TODAY at www.belfastwomensaid.org.uk
• The web chat will available live every Monday to Friday 10am to 12 noon. (Outside those hours, requests can still be submitted and will be responded to when possible.)
