The cover page of a report discussing women's roles as volunteers. It highlights that women are already predominantly 'unpaid' carers as mothers, wives, and daughters. Women often act as carers of elderly or family members in need. They take on these additional roles, as well as traditional women's roles. Due to the recession in the mid 80's, there was an increased burden for these women. However, the report states that without the voluntary unpaid actions of these women the Women's Aid refuges wouldn't exist. It highlights the financial hardships these volunteers faced and the struggles Women's Aid had securing funding to be able to provide the services it does. The report applauds 'exhausted [women] volunteers' and seems to criticise the government for not providing more social services and relying so heavily on the unpaid women volunteers. Welsh Women's Aid (WWA) was founded in 1978 to help and support women and children who were victims of domestic abuse. WWA also campaigns and lobbies for improvements in public policy and government legislation relating to women and children experiencing domestic abuse in Wales.---------------The Chronicle Project is a community heritage project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and run by VCS Cymru with the aims to document the history of volunteering in Cardiff, from 1914 to 2014.
