NEWS!
LWA has been part of a consortium called United Against Violence and Abuse (UAVA) since 2015, from the 1st April 2022 however things have changed. UAVA, as a consortium, will cease to exist HOWEVER the partners in the consortium will continue to deliver the same services locally. The Helpline number will stay the same and services can be accessed in the same way. It is just the name UAVA which will no longer be used.
