All women deserve to be safe
After 24 years of growing, learning and expanding our work, A Way Out is entering an exciting new chapter. What began as a mission to help women and young people find a way out of difficult situations has developed into something deeper: walking alongside women, young people and families as they take their next steps. Our new name, AlongSide, reflects who we are today and the way we support our community — with compassion, partnership and hope. Thank you to all our supporters, members of the community and everyone who has been part of our journey so far. We are excited to continue this work, alongside you.
