WomenCentre
The Women Making Changes (WMC) Project - Kirklees is delivered by WomenCentre in Kirklees, in partnership with Kirklees Domestic Abuse Specialist Services (KDASS).
The project aims to support women impacted by domestic abuse, who have a range of concerns and complexities. The service offers interventions which could include support to attend a one-off appointment, immediate housing issues or specific access orders.
What can we offer?
You will be allocated a case worker who you will meet regularly to access 1-1 support and work through multiple issues. The support offered is flexible and led by you to ensure that the support you receive is going to be the most helpful and in line with what you would like to achieve.
Our support can be provided in one of our offices but also within the community. We have a variety of ways you can access the support including Face-to-Face support, telephone support or virtually via an online platform. The team also has bilingual staff who can speak Urdu and Punjabi.
