About Us : MyCWA is a beacon of hope for people in Cheshire affected by domestic abuse. In just the last year, we've helped nearly 4,000 individuals through services including a 24/7 helpline, recovery programmes, children's services, refuge accommodation, and behaviour change programmes.

Since 1977, we've been committed to supporting and advocating for those affected by domestic abuse, and your involvement is essential in elevating our mission.
