Support Women. Empower Change. Raise Hope.
At Omagh Women’s Aid, we work tirelessly to support women and children affected by domestic abuse in our local community. As a small charity based in Northern Ireland, we rely heavily on the generosity of individuals, groups and businesses to help us continue our vital work.
Fundraising plays a crucial role in ensuring we can offer essential services such as emergency accommodation, emotional support, advocacy, education programmes and outreach to those who need it most. Every pound raised helps us provide safety, stability and hope for a better future.
Why Your Fundraising Matters
Unfortunately we don’t have access to unlimited resources. While we receive some statutory funding, it simply isn’t enough to meet the growing demand for our services. That’s where you come in. Whether you’re organising a bake sale or running a marathon, your fundraising efforts make a direct and tangible difference to the lives of women and children escaping abuse in our area.
Fundraising also helps to raise awareness of domestic abuse, break down stigma, and show solidarity with survivors — all of which are vital to creating lasting social change.
