What We Provide

Alongside emotional healing, we provide practical assistance to help women, men, and children rebuild their lives after domestic abuse. Our trauma-informed team offers hands-on support tailored to each family’s unique circumstances- whether they are living in our refuge, dispersed accommodation, or supported through outreach in the community.


We are Here to Help

We are Here to Help

We help survivors navigate the complexities of housing, benefits, and legal systems. This includes assistance with budgeting, financial planning, accessing entitlements, and securing safe, stable accommodation. Our staff accompany individuals to appointments, court hearings, and meetings with other agencies, ensuring they feel supported and empowered every step of the way. We also help families connect with schools, nurseries, health services, and local community resources to re-establish routines and build new networks.

Your Safety

Our practical support is grounded in safeguarding and risk assessment, with staff trained in tools such as the DASH model and the Domestic Abuse Recovery Toolkit. We work closely with partner agencies to ensure survivors receive the protection and services they need, and we advocate on their behalf when barriers arise. For those facing immigration-related challenges or complex needs such as mental health or substance misuse, we offer informed, sensitive guidance and referrals to specialist services.

Everything we do is designed to help survivors move forward with confidence. Whether it’s securing a safe home, managing finances, or accessing education and healthcare, our practical support lays the foundation for long-term stability and independence.
