Black Country Women’s Aid turns 40!
In 2026, we celebrate four decades of supporting and empowering survivors. Join us as we mark this incredible milestone with a special International Women’s Day celebration.

 

 

This year’s IWD theme is ‘Give to Gain’.

 

When we give – our enthusiasm, our energy, our empathy – we all gain by building stronger, safer communities in which everyone can thrive.

 

By giving your support, you will help people affected by domestic abuse, exploitation, modern slavery and stalking to regain their independence, dignity, and hope.

 

 

Join us and enjoy:

• A delicious sit-down 2-course meal
• Our 4th annual Inspirational Woman of the Year Awards
• Dancing until late and a bar open to 2am
• Amazing raffle prizes and lively fundraising games
• An exceptional venue with excellent transport links and ample, free parking

 

Help us to celebrate the power of giving and 40 incredible years of care and support in the heart of the Black Country.
