Volunteering

In 1989, a volunteer management committee was setup that established the Mansfield and Ashfield Women’s Aid (MAWA) which over the years has transformed to become the organisation we know today – Nottinghamshire Independent Domestic Abuse Service (NIDAS).

Volunteering has been at the heart of the organisation for all those years and ranges from people offering a bit of time to undertake admin tasks to fundraising to organising events and raising awareness of the services we deliver.

Without their dedication, commitment and passion we would not be able to deliver the services we do.

Could you be a volunteer?

We’re always looking for people who can add something new to the charity by offering their skills, knowledge, experience and time. Volunteers must be 18 years or over.

Why volunteer with us?

Apart from the reward of helping others and the confidence gained through volunteering, we can also offer you access to local providers who offer training and development opportunities which look great on a CV. We will also provide you with a robust and comprehensive induction relating to domestic abuse.
