A CONSETT charity that caters for women and children affected by domestic violence wants new members for its management committee.
Derwentside Women's Aid is a safe house for people fearful of violence from their boyfriends and husbands.
The group says it needs strong and committed women to join the committee, to help highlight the widespread problem of domestic violence.
A spokeswoman for the group said that the role and responsibility of the management committee includes overseeing the work of the project staff, and ensuring working practices are completed.
Meetings are held once a month and normally last for two to three hours. Alternatively, those with a few hours to spare who want to help women who are victims of domestic violence, can ring the group on (01207) 508300
