Over a third of carers struggling to make ends meet don’t know where to go for financial advice.

We have a dedicated Domestic Abuse Helpline in Shropshire!

We understand that people living in rural areas can face extra challenges when trying to access in-person support. That’s why we’re asking our community to help us spread the word. Thanks to your support so far, we’ve already seen more people reaching out - but there is still more to do. We want everyone who needs us to know how to get help.

How can you help?

• Share this post, so we are able to reach as many people as possible who may need our support
• Distribute posters in your community - please contact volunteer@wmwa.org.uk to receive an information pack today!
