Does anyone know if Refuge accept that TWAW and can access Women only spaces? I've searched their website, done a Google but can't establish if they are captured, or not.

I'd love to join in this fundraiser (30 days of crochet in June) but not if money I raise goes to a SW captured charity.

If so, would rather just donate directly to WA or NIA, instead

Might be, might not be. However, I looked at a job spec and it invoked the section 9 must female thing.

Having stayed in one I would say they need funds. A lot.

You have to dig on their website, but if you look at 'who can access our services' by area, most of them are mixed sex.
They aren't clear if they offer separate services for men and women, or if their shelters are mixed sex.

But Women's Aid are also mixed sex.
