Warrington Womens Aid 2020

Warrington Womens Aid

Warringtons Womens Aid have been chosen as the NWCC Charity for 2020

Warrington Women’s Aid was founded in 1976 by a group of local women who were concerned about domestic abuse, its impact of women and children and where they could go if they had to leave home due to violence.
 

The group, know as Warrington and District Battered Wives Association began by negotiating with Warrington Council for the allocation of a council property where families could be housed and supported
 

Warrington Housing Department was unable to offer such a property due to local policy at the time
 

During this time the group became Warrington Women’s Aid and a registered charity
 

After two years of fundraising they purchased and renovated a property in Warrington, which became the first refuge/hostel for battered wives, opening in 1978, it could house three women and up to four children

About St Rocco’s Hospice

St Rocco’s Hospice provides specialist care and support across Warrington, helping those who are coping with a life-limiting illness.

We promote physical, social, psychological and spiritual wellbeing for patients with life-limiting illness, and, in doing so, places patients, carers and families at the heart of everything we do.

Here to help: a place of care, a tower of strength

St Rocco’s Hospice supports the borough of Warrington, a community of over 200,000 people. We provide highly specialised care – along with a wide range of services – to support those who have been diagnosed with illnesses which are terminal, or life-limiting.

Care that’s not available elsewhere

Many of our people are trained to a very high level, and provide services which are not readily available elsewhere in the area – working with other healthcare professionals, such as your GP or hospital.

A registered charity, dependent on your support

All of the care we provide is free, for both patients and their carers. We don’t even charge for car parking. Yet only around a third of our funding is provided by the NHS; the rest comes directly from the wonderful community which we support – via fundraising activities such as sponsorships, legacies (money left in wills) and donations – and through our many shops and the hospice lottery. Without your help, we couldn’t provide the care we do.

More than just a building

St. Rocco’s has inpatient beds, provides day therapy care, living well services, a neighbourhood support service and Hospice At Home service.

Martin’s memory

drives us to help Parents supporting Alder Hey two decades since loss of their baby

By Simon Mulligan

A FAMILY who lost their baby son to meningitis have helped raised funds to mark the year of what would have been his 21st birthday. Phil and Debbie Stott, from Newton-le-Willows, were left devastated by the death of Martin two decades ago. He would havbeen 21 in November. In his memory, the Stott family, along with friends and fellow members of Phil’s at the North West Casual Classics Car Club, have raised money for the Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. With the club also entering its 21st year, Phil says it was viewed as the perfect opportunity to support the cause, setting an initial target of £500.

At events throughout the season, fundraising efforts included members of the club selling hand-crafted goods and holding raffles. The club smashed its target, with Phil presenting cheque Phil Stott, with fundraising supporters (from left) Mal Brown, Steve Tanser, Doreen Brown, Barrie Thomas, Eileen Smith and Geoff Cross for £2,001.17 to Katherine Harding, from the Alder Hey’s charity group at the club’s November meeting.

“We’ve done bits of fundraising before for them but nothing like this,” said Phil, 49. At the club we do a lot of fundraising for various charities and some of the members said why don’t we adopt it for the year. “It was a traumatic time for us. Martin was treated at Alder Hey when he died and the hospital were very good with us at the time.

“With the hospital getting a new building and needing funds, and it being the 21st birthday of Martin, we wanted to fundraise. The £2,000 will help children with cancer.”
