Changing Pathways

Changing Pathways Changing Pathways is a charitable organisation providing support and refuge for women and their children who have been victims of domestic abuse.

Changing Pathways (formerly known as Basildon Women’s Aid) is a domestic abuse charity working across the areas of Basildon, Brentwood, Castle Point, Epping Forest, Harlow, Rochford and Thurrock. We provide free and confidential services to support people who are currently experiencing, or have previously experienced domestic abuse. We offer a range of needs led services including refuge accommoda

tion, outreach/community based support, advocacy services for high risk victims, including those experiencing stalking and harassment, therapeutic/counselling services and a range of group programmes. We focus on listening to our service users and decide together the support required to take the first step on a pathway to a new life journey. We have a dedicated Children and Young People’s service which ensures access to age appropriate individual and group based therapies, practical and emotional support, opportunities to participate in a range of activities which are supported by domestic abuse experts, and we operate a pre-school for the children of women accommodated in our Basildon refuge site. Additionally, BWA support male adult victims/survivors of domestic abuse via telephone support, individual outreach support and therapeutic sessions. Domestic abuse impacts on all communities. If you are suffering from physical, sexual, psychological/emotional and/or financial abuse, or are being threatened, intimidated or stalked by a current or previous partner or close family member, you could be a victim of domestic abuse. You may be feeling frightened, isolated, ashamed and confused. If you have children, you may be concerned about how the domestic abuse is impacting upon them too. You are not to blame for what is happening. You do not have to face this situation on your own. Changing Pathways are ready to support you through your decision to reclaim your right to a safe, happy and abuse free life. We will not judge you in any way and we will ensure that we only ever move at the pace you want to go.

We'd like to take a moment to sincerely thank the Havering Rotary Club for their recent, and very generous donation, made in recognition to our Basildon Refuge.

We work around the clock to help those who need us, but it is with the generosity, empathy and kindness of people like the Havering Rotary Club, that we are able to strive to do more for our clients, community and those in need 💚

No one should fear the final whistle.

As we edge nearer to the start of the World Cup, we want to remind you that help is always available. Football isn't the cause of abuse, but heightened emotion and alcohol consumption can contribute.

Whether it's an international tournament or a national league, we're here, ready and happy to help.

Call 0330 333 7 444 if you need support 💚

A huge thank you to Ed’s Easy Storage for the incredible support they’ve been providing to some of our residents as they move on from refuge.
Ed has kindly supplied free furniture for their new homes and even delivered it, sometimes travelling long distances to do so. This generosity is making a real difference in helping families settle into their new beginnings.
We are so grateful for your kindness and continued support.
