We empower survivors by keeping their voices at the heart of our work, working with and for women and children by listening to them and responding to their needs.

We are currently seeking four trustees to join our board; one of these trustees will hold leadership positions in the women’s sector as the Chief Executive or trustee of a member organisation and three positions are open to applicants who are not from a member service.

We plan to conclude the recruitment process and announce appointments as soon as possible, to enable the new trustees to complete their initial induction before joining a two-day board meeting being held at the Women’s Aid office in Bristol over 21st and 22nd November 2019.
