Volunteers are needed to help set up a group for women in Keighley who have suffered from domestic violence.

The volunteers will spend two days each week running the group for the next six months.

The group aims to build the confidence of women who have survived domestic abuse.

It is being organised by Mary Beanland, volunteer co-ordinator with Domestic Violence Services (Keighley).

She said the group would run for three hours, once a week for eight weeks.

She said: "It will give women various opportunities to enhance their self-esteem, grow in confidence and look at their own well-being.

"It is hoped the women will be able to move on to higher education and look for paid work or volunteering opportunities."
