Help and Support
Do you need refuge?
If you are affected by domestic violence and need to leave home, our refuges provide safe, secure, emergency accommodation.
We have refuges specifically for young women, spaces for families and most of our refuges have self-contained flats, so you will have your own space.
Our specialist children and family support workers run play sessions for children and can help you to meet your children’s needs like finding a school place.
In refuge, you will be supported by our team of female workers. All of whom are specially trained to listen and to provide practical and emotional support.
We can help with things you might be worried about like housing, safety, money, helping you register with the GP, as well as being there to listen if you want to talk.
If you would like to talk through your options or ask more questions about refuge, please contact our helpline on 0808 800 0028.
Do you need housing support?
Are you considering your long term housing options, worried about the security of your current home, or need help finding somewhere safe to stay?
