Welsh Women's Aid is a national charity based in Cardiff, Wales, dedicated to ending domestic abuse and all forms of violence against women. It functions as a federation of specialist organisations in Wales and operates within a UK network of services to provide lifesaving support to survivors—including women, men, children, and families—and to run preventative work in local communities. Founded in 1978, the organization has focused on shaping coordinated community responses and practices through campaigning, advice, consultancy, support, and training aimed at improving policy and service provision for survivors and their communities. Its core services include the Live Fear Free Helpline, funded by the Welsh Government, and a National Training Service, along with the Survivors Empowering and Educating Services pilot that enables survivors to influence public services and commissioning. It also administers the Wales National Quality Service Standards (NQSS), a national accreditation framework for domestic abuse specialist services in Wales supported by the Welsh Government. In February 2026, ateb Group partnered with Welsh Women's Aid to deliver Domestic Abuse Awareness training to its teams, illustrating continued collaboration to strengthen awareness and response.
