Juno Women's Aid
Domestic abuse support
What is 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 young people 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 2020-2021, we worked with 2,147 women, 375 children and young people, fostered 39 pets, and received over 17,000 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 young people 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 vision
In the next 5 years, we will have established a vast network of supporters to help us raise awareness and move our community standards of acceptance to reach tolerance zero towards domestic abuse.
In June 2019 we changed our name from Women’s Aid Integrated Services (WAIS) to Juno Women’s Aid (Juno) to differentiate ourselves from the other Women’s Aid organisations in the area. Juno is a Roman goddess, protector of women and children.
