Voices VOICES is a Bath-based charity supporting survivors and overcomers of domestic abuse & violence to recover and thrive.

20/10/2026

Nayana shares her experience of completing a placement with VOICES and reflects on how much she has learned about domestic abuse along the way.

Working within a survivor-led, trauma-informed environment has given her a deeper understanding of the many different ways abuse can affect someone’s life, and why compassionate, informed support matters so much.

Placements like this are also an opportunity to learn directly from lived experience, challenge assumptions, and build the knowledge needed to support survivors with greater understanding and empathy.
We’re grateful to Nayana for being part of VOICES and for sharing what she has learned.

Legal processes can feel difficult to understand, especially when you are already navigating the impact of domestic abuse.

Having clear, accessible information can help make the unknown feel a little more manageable. It can give survivors a better understanding of their options and help them make informed choices about what feels right for them.

At VOICES, legal support sits alongside wider recovery services, helping survivors access information and guidance without taking those choices away from them.

Because understanding your options can be an important part of feeling more in control.

Recovery can mean many different things to different people.

For some, it may mean rebuilding confidence, feeling able to move forward, and one day being open to a healthy relationship again. For others, it may simply mean feeling more like themselves.

In this video, the conversation also turns to prevention, and why education matters so much.

Helping people understand domestic abuse, healthy relationships, boundaries and respect from a young age can play an important role in preventing harm in the future.

Recovery supports people now. Education can help protect future generations.

Recovery can create space for possibilities that may once have felt out of reach. \n\nIt might mean reconnecting with people you trust, rediscovering confidence, returning to work or learning, trying something new, or beginning to imagine a future that feels like your own again.

There is no single picture of what recovery should look like. Each person’s journey is different.

At VOICES, recovery is about supporting survivors to rebuild choice, independence, connection and hope, at a pace that feels right for them.

At VOICES, recovery is personal.

The charity supports people in Bath who have experienced domestic abuse, with a focus on individual recovery plans, trauma-informed support and lived experience at the heart of everything they do.

As this video highlights, recovery is not about a one-size-fits-all approach. It is about listening to survivors, understanding the complexities of domestic abuse, and making sure the individual remains central to the support they receive.

For some people, that support can be life-changing.
“Since finding them, I personally say they’ve saved my life.”
That is why survivor-led, trauma-informed recovery support matters.

Supporting survivors can take many forms.

You might donate to specialist services, organise a fundraiser, share trusted information, learn more about domestic abuse, or simply listen to someone without judgement.

Not every act of support has to be big to matter. Increasing understanding, creating compassionate conversations and helping specialist services continue their work can all contribute to safer, more supportive communities.

However you choose to help, every meaningful action counts.

VOICES relies on donations to continue providing recovery support for women affected by domestic abuse, and there are so many ways to get involved.

In this video, Benazir talks about the power of community fundraising, from small local events to larger collaborations with businesses, charities and organisations that share VOICES’ values.

Whether it’s a music night, an art event, a workplace fundraiser or something completely different, every idea can help create awareness, raise vital funds and keep recovery services available for those who need them.

VOICES is always open to meeting new supporters, partners and communities who believe in giving women the opportunity to recover, rebuild and move forward.

You can support VOICES directly, or bring your community together and create something meaningful.

This World Mental Health Day, we’re recognising the value of lived experience.

People who have experienced domestic abuse bring an understanding that cannot simply be learned from a textbook. Their voices can help us understand what meaningful support looks like, where change is needed and how services can better respond to the people they exist to support.

At VOICES, lived experience helps shape the way we support, advocate and create change. Survivors are not simply part of the conversation, their insight is valued as expertise.

Because when people are genuinely heard, their experiences can help create more compassionate support and better pathways for others. \n\nYour experience matters. Your voice matters.

If someone discloses domestic abuse to you, you do not need to have the perfect response or know exactly what should happen next.

Sometimes, the most valuable thing you can do is listen without judgement, respond with compassion and respect their choices.

Knowing where specialist support is available can also make a meaningful difference. VOICES can support professionals with guidance, signposting and referrals, helping survivors access support that reflects their individual needs.

You do not have to be an expert to help someone feel heard.

08/10/2026

At VOICES, support is shaped around the individual, not the other way around.

In this video, Nayana explains how the team takes a holistic approach, recognising that domestic abuse can affect many different areas of someone’s life and influence the choices they feel able to make.

That means support is tailored to what feels right for each person at that moment. There is no pressure to move faster than they are comfortable with, and no expectation that everyone will need the same kind of help.
Because recovery is personal, and meaningful support starts with listening.
