Shetland Women's Aid are looking for women to join us in promoting the safety and wellbeing of women and children in Shetland who are affected by domestic abuse and gender-based violence. SWA is a registered charity funded by local and national grant aid to provide safety planning, counselling, refuge, advice and guidance about housing, finance and legal issues to women. There is also a children and young person's service focused on offering therapy and support to children and young people. The aim for Shetland Women's Aid is 'An equitable society in which women, children and young people are valued participants, able to determine their own future and are free from all forms of abuse.' As a trustee you will be instrumental in helping us realise our vision and mission. Part of your role will be to ensure that our day to day operation fulfils our strategic vision. If you decide to join Shetland Women's Aid, you can make a real difference to the women and children who experience domestic and sexual abuse.

Rotary in the West of Scotland, has 48 groups which meet regularly on various days and times, during the 'covid-19' restrictions though, some are meeting online. We always need input, so that we are aware of potential needs in our locally communities. To do that we arrange fundraising events and organise various functions or collections. If any of this basic insight, has generated an interest to be involved with Rotary, please feel free to let us know.
