Out of Hours Emergency Helpline |
| |
|
| Our Out of Hours Emergency Helpline is staffed on a voluntary basis, by workers and volunteers, outside normal working hours. |

|
Whilst we are glad of your interest in WAIMON, we would like to stress that you should not call outside normal working hours unless you urgently need our help.
On-call workers have received calls from people thousands of miles away, which unfortunately can prevent local women who are experiencing domestic abuse from getting through to us.
If you would like general information regarding our organisation, please telephone between 10.00 am and 5.00 pm Mondays to Fridays (excluding Bank Holidays) on 01873 859011 when there should be workers available to assist - however, due to the nature of our work, you may occasionally be requested to leave an answerphone message.
Remember - if your call is urgent, or if you have any serious concerns, please call at any time - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Our organisation exists to help women and their children who have experienced domestic abuse.
If you do not live in Monmouthshire, remember that there is a network of Women's Aid groups throughout the UK who work alongside one another. Any Women's Aid group will do their best to assist if you are experiencing domestic abuse. Their numbers should be listed in the telephone book, or can be obtained through directory enquiries.
You can also contact The Wales Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 80 10 800, which now operates 24 hours a day. |
