Staying in our Refuge
If you are staying in our refuge, you will be allocated a Support Worker who will provide tailored support to help you recover from the impacts of domestic violence and abuse. Your Support Worker can also help with practical issues such as sorting out finances and securing permanent housing. They will work in partnership with other services including counselling, health professionals, housing, schools to provide well-rounded support and empower you to rebuild your life.

Please note our refuge accommodation has limited space and there is always a high demand, so high risk cases will be prioritised.
What help do we give you
The help and support you will be able to access is based both on your immediate needs and risk and your wishes and desires in moving forward. We will always work with you to create a support plan that works best for you. We will initially support you around things that you might need urgently, like maximizing your benefits, and accessing a GP. We can also support with legal issues and refer you to legal specialists and immigration support if needed.
