Does anyone know of a Shelter for battered wives in the Rhondda Cynon Taff area, I've tried a search on google and I also know there's one in the Swansea area.

I have some things that would otherwise got to the charity shops but feel they may be more appreciated there.

    Thank you Ringo and Rachie very useful will get in touch. I've donated to the Swansea one via my daughter's friend but would like to help a little nearer home.

    Thanks again both.:beer:

    the location of these places isnt normally shouted from the rooftops. the idea being that the shelters are supposed to offer protection form abusive partners - difficult to do if all and sundry know where the shelters are.

    well done OP for your thoughful gesture though :T
