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.

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.
- To support and empower women, children, and teens and to strengthen families
- To raise awareness about domestic abuse and its effects
- To challenge the taboo of silence and misperceptions
- To ensure the provision of specialist services to counteract domestic abuse, run by women for women, teenagers and children

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.
