The vulnerable women referred to New Dawn New Day have experienced trauma such as domestic violence and abuse, rape and sexual assault, poverty, homelessness, substance misuse and mental health issues. 

As a result of these issues, women become involved in the criminal justice system and are given prison sentences or community orders, when what they desperately need is support to make long term changes in their lives. 

Many have no family or friends to support them, but they do have us.NDND empowers women to make positive changes in their lives, by providing both emotional and practical support, reducing social isolation and the likelihood of reoffending. 

NDND offers an alternative to imprisonment to keep families together and retain homes and jobs. They provide a safe space for the most vulnerable women in society to find a sense of belonging, trust and friendship.
