Who We Are

WAITS is a women’s educational charity established in 1992.

We are  concerned with local women’s fuller involvement in the public life of their communities, from education to employment, personal to social and leadership to decision making. We support women to address issues such as welfare benefits, employment and education, domestic violence, isolation, health, crime and the fear of crime and many more.

“Women with the power to make and influence decisions and make positive change”

A Network of women’s groups, our membership reflects the diverse communities of Birmingham, Sandwell and other parts of the West Midlands.

WAITS has been, and will continue to be, an innovator. We are uniquely placed to provide accessible and responsive services to a variety of hard to reach women.
