Northumberland Services for Women

The mission of Northumberland Services for Women (NSW) is to provide safety, support, education and an inclusive environment for the empowerment of women and their children and to advocate against violence and oppression in society. NSW offers temporary, safe and secure shelter for women and their children who are seeking refuge from an abusive relationship. NSW recognizes that abuse can take many forms, including, but not limited to verbal, emotional and physical abuse.  

NSW also offers Community Services in a variety of locations throughout Northumberland County. This includes group counselling (a number of different types of groups are available), as well as individual counselling for women and children who have been impacted by family violence. Counsellors also provide public education, advocacy, and referrals to other community services and resources.

Another program offered within the Community Services program is our Transitional Housing and Support Program. The focus of this program is in assisting women and their children who are victims of family violence to establish stable, violence free lives in the community. The Transitional Housing Support Counsellor will assist women in identifying and accessing the supports they require and assist women to find and maintain housing. She will also coordinate services with other community support agencies, provide public education, and advocate for women.  

Northumberland United Way

The mission of the Northumberland United Way is to raise and allocate funds in an efficient manner and promote the effective delivery of services in response to current and emerging social needs in Northumberland County. The United Way provides annualized funding to its 18 Member Agencies. In addition to supporting these agencies, the Northumberland United Way has established the Community Ventures Fund and the New Initiatives Fund to provide grants to non-profit, volunteer-based organizations that identify health or social service needs in Northumberland County.

Northumberland Youth Advisory Council

The Northumberland Youth Advisory Council was established to empower and connect young people as an advisory voice to government, while also engaging and retaining youth as part of a sustainable youth strategy for our county. Furthermore, we are creating an information forum that actively communicates and promotes opportunities for youth in business, politics and culture. All the decisions made by the NYAC are made by youth between the ages of 14 to 24. The NYAC is the first county wide youth driven organization in Northumberland County's history. This council evolved from the hard work of many local organizations and individuals throughout our county.
