Juno Women's Aid

Juno Women’s Aid is the largest domestic abuse organisation in Nottingham and one of the largest in the UK. We work with women, children, and teens who have been affected by domestic abuse in Ashfield, Broxtowe, Gedling, Nottingham City, and Rushcliffe. 

We run a wide range of services including the 24-hour Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Freephone Domestic and Sexual Violence Helpline. This is where you can speak to one of our specialist trained female support workers 365 days a year.

In 2024-2025, we worked with 3,412 women, 364 children and young people, fostered 59 pets, and received over 16,000 calls on our Helpline.

At any one time, we’re supporting 500-600 women and children in Nottingham and South Nottinghamshire.

We’ve been helping women, children, and teens in Nottingham for over 40 years and we’re passionate about helping anyone affected by domestic abuse to stay as safe as possible and to recover from the harm of domestic abuse.

Our services include:

• Information and support
• Drop-ins and one-to-one support
• Healthy relationship courses and therapeutic groups
• Refuge and emergency accommodation
• Foster care for family pets
• Training for healthcare professionals in domestic abuse awareness
