Ballymena Women's Aid has a 12 bedroom refuge with 32 bed spaces. One room is available downstairs with en-suite facilities for anyone with a disability.  We offer crisis accommodation to women with or without children, but can only accept boys up to their 16th birthday.  Referrals can be made through various agencies e.g. Social Services, Housing Executive etc or by individuals such as GPs. Women can also make direct contact on their own behalf.

The refuge facilities include a communal kitchen area where women are able to prepare family meals; a day room which offers peace and quiet and somewhere to watch TV in private; and a laundry room with washing machines, tumble dryers and ironing facilities. The refuge is staffed daily between 9.30am and 9pm after which there is an on-call service for emergencies.
