Black Country Women’s Aid (BCWA, formerly known as Sandwell Women’s Aid) is an independent charity which has been supporting victims of domestic abuse, sexual violence, modern slavery and homelessness in the West Midlands for the last 30 years.

Fundraising is essential in ensuring survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence and exploitation receive the support they need to overcome their trauma. So we can help them immediately, we fundraise all year long.

As October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month we have an Annual Campaign to raise money called GO PURPLE.

Purple is a colour worn by early women’s rights activists and today it is an important colour for campaigners against domestic abuse and violence against women and girls.

Please get involved and support our Go Purple Campaign by Buying a Balloon for £3.00 by clicking on the BIG BLUE BUTTON below.

It’s a seven-day computer simulation race where everything is real except the balloon!!

The software uses current live weather data to determine the progress of each balloon and each entry can be tracked on Google Maps and Satellites once launched.

It has no negative environmental impact on all wildlife, climate change, plastic waste or litter.

The race, titled Halloween Race , will ‘set off’ from Dracula’s Castle in Romania at 12pm on 31st October.
You can watch your balloon via this link once the race starts.... https://ecoracing.co/race/view/24

* First prize, for the balloon that travels the farthest over 7 days, is £500 cash,
* Second prize is an Apple iPad
And there will also be 10 lucky winners of £10 book tokens.

Each Balloon costs £3.00 and you can design your own balloon and even buy balloons as a gift too!

We believe that no-one should have to live in fear of violence and abuse. We listen, we support, we care… and we’re glad that you do too

Our fundraising target is: £300

Gross monies raised so far: £285

Supporters so far: 44
