Providing outreach support to women
We know that it can be scary to come to a service like this for the first time, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to access support – you don’t need to be referred by any other agency – you can simply phone us.
You will be able to speak to a member of staff who will listen to you, believe you, not judge you, and support you to make the decisions that are right for you at this time.
We can offer support in a variety of areas including:
- One to one emotional support
- Helping you make a safety plan
- Supporting you to access safe accommodation, either in our refuge or elsewhere
- Information on housing, benefits and legal issues and helping you to fill out any relevant forms.
- Support you to go to any appointments you need to and advocate on your behalf.
- Support you to attend court.
You can come in just once to get some information or come back as often as you need to. We offer emotional and practical support.
Leaving an abusive relationship can seem really overwhelming, but we are here to help you through this.
If you choose to report your experience of domestic abuse to the police we can support you to do this. However, we would never pressure you into doing it. Our service is free and confidential.
