You deserve to be safe, happy and healthy in your relationships with your family, friends and community. Domestic abuse affects many people, regardless of age, gender, financial status, location, religion or sexuality.
If you are in a relationship where you feel unsafe, unhappy and unhealthy, or have ended such a relationship and are still experiencing abuse, we can help.
If anyone in your family or others that you know are abusing, controlling, harassing or violating you, we can help.
You don’t have to deal with this alone. We offer a safe place to stay if needed, along with support, guidance and practical help to create a safer, happier and healthier future for you.
We offer inclusive, non-judgemental and respectful services to women, children and men.
Women with SEND will have to ring up as it depends on case by case.
