Womens Support Project

Resources

The Project holds a range of written resources on violence against women and children, and these are available on loan to those affected by violence, as well as to members of community groups, professionals, students and researchers.

Materials include survivors’ writings, self help manuals, academic research, guidelines for good practice, resources for group work, and materials suitable for children and young people. We have some resources aimed at men and boys who have suffered sexual violence, and for the partners and friends of survivors of violence.

There is no membership fee and no charge for borrowing resources. The usual loan period is four weeks for books and one week for a video or DVD, although this may be extended on request.  We can post out materials, although we may have to make a charge for postage, depending on the circumstances.

We have a regular information session on the first Wednesday of the month when people can browse resource materials and speak to staff about the resources. Individual appointments can also be made at other times.  We are not able to offer a drop-in service, so please Contact us if you would like to visit.
