About Us
North Ayrshire Women’s Aid is a unique specialist service that provides both emotional and practical support to women affected by domestic abuse.
We know that taking that first step towards getting help can be difficult. We have set up this website so that you can gain a full understanding of what we can offer you, at your own pace, and in your own home.
When you’re ready to get in touch, you can call us on 01294 602424 (select option 2). One of our workers will listen to you, help you think about your options, and if necessary, support you to find somewhere safe to stay. Please do not feel embarrassed or ashamed, because you are not alone. All information you share with us is confidential unless we have any concerns about safety and risk.
Outwith office hours you can call the 24-hr national helpline on 0800 027 1234.
“My worker has supported me so much”
“If she’s unavailable, the duty workers are always available to speak to and support me. We’re focusing first on my safety, my mental health and my financial support.”

“I see a future for myself now”
“I’m still not exactly where I need to be, but if it wasn’t for Women’s Aid, I doubt I’d be here at all. My workers gave me hope.”

“The worry of being found and hurt has completely gone”
“Living [in refuge] for nearly a year with no home comforts or people near me has been hard. But the worry of being found and hurt has completely gone. Working with my support worker has given me the strength to keep going and see the bigger picture.”
