In our local community, 1 in 5 adults experience domestic abuse during their lifetime.

And 1 in 7 children, that’s 4 children and young people in every classroom, will live with domestic violence at some point in their childhood. 

Tragically, many families have no safe sanctuary to escape to, facing the grim choice of enduring abuse or risking homelessness.  

No woman or child should be forced to endure the horrors of domestic abuse.

For nearly 50 years, we’ve worked towards a world without domestic abuse.

Our mission is clear: to provide a sanctuary - a place of safety, support, and empowerment - for women and children. 

Please watch our video to find out more about life in a refuge and how vital they are.
