Spotlight on CWN Members - EVA Women's Aid!

EVA Women's Aid is an award-winning small Charity with BIG ideas! We provide a range of specialist services to survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence, whether current, recent or historic.  EVA offers support to women, and children/young people of all genders.  We are proud of how we support the women we work with, and we take what they say to us very seriously because it helps us to improve and shape our service to ensure we give the best possible support.  At EVA, we know that the trauma of abuse can affect every part of your life.  We understand.  We believe you.  We will support you towards independence in a way that's right for you, at  a pace that's right for you. Here's what some of our service users told us;

Janet, aged 36 - “Just thank you from the bottom of my heart!! The whole of EVA have been amazing and I don’t know where I would be without you all. EVA are life savers!! I feel so fortunate and grateful to have been supported by yourselves when I was in my time of need. I am doing so well now and I love myself and my life again. Everything has just fallen in to place and I know it is because I had EVA in my corner, helping me to understand the abuse and its impacts, helping me with court and giving me a place in the groups, and because of this I am able to go at it alone and get back to living the life I am lucky to be living!”

Sarah, aged 27 - I was listened to, understood and not judged, it didn’t matter what I said I was supported. I don’t recognise the person I was.  Eva are brilliant.

Veronica, aged 42 - “I was homeless living in a tent and I was beat up by my boyfriend when council staff put me in touch with EVA Women’s aid and I went to a Safe House.  They do loads of courses, I have done the Freedom programme which has made me more confident and I have done the art and craft one as well which was really good. I met new people there!  The staff have been brilliant with me they helped me get back in touch with my mum and children after a break down in relationships and I don’t know where my life would be without them.”

Anonymous follower on Facebook - "Dear Eva team, I am a survivor of domestic abuse and I have only just begun to have the courage to acknowledge that to myself and a few trusted others. Although this gradual realisation is painful but necessary. I am so very grateful to you comms team for the excellent content I see on Facebook. Thank you EVA. I am a woman in Edinburgh, please know your working impactful in a far away living room, helping me understand my life, see patterns in my choices and be more assertive with my ex about the rights of my children and I."

EVA Women's Aid are rightly proud of the amazing work they do with and for survivors of domestic and sexual violence across Redcar and Cleveland, and we’re proud of their place in our Network.
