Restored

Restored We exist to change the story for survivors of domestic abuse. Abuse robs men, women and children of their identity, security and value. We want to give it back.

We want to see a network of churches that stand against abuse, providing a safe refuge for survivors, nurturing them back to health and demonstrating God’s deep love for them.

Our Restored Beacon churches are shining a light into the darkness for survivors of domestic abuse.

Across the country, they are:

🧡 Supporting survivors
Providing vital pastoral support to survivors in their congregations and communities through befriending, drop-in sessions, recovery courses and more.

🤝 Connecting with local services
Churches can't do it all, so Restored Beacons work alongside their local domestic abuse services to make sure survivors can receive specialist, holistic support.

📣 Changing culture
Restored Beacon churches seek to change a culture that has allowed domestic abuse to go unchecked. By speaking, teaching and praying about domestic abuse, Beacon churches demonstrate God’s heart for flourishing relationships where everyone is safe & supported.

Sound like something you want to be part of? We'd love to hear from you! Drop us a DM today or head to restored-uk.org/beacon.

Coercive control is a pattern of behaviour that seeks to take away a person’s freedom and sense of self, keeping them subordinate and/or dependent.

Subordination attacks a victim/survivors sense of worth, leading them to believe that they have no agency or power to make decisions. Dependency results in a victim/survivor believing that they can’t function outside of the relationship, preventing them from seeking help.

Coercive behaviour creates invisible chains and a sense of fear that permeates all areas of a victim/survivors life. It deprives them of their liberty and reduces their ability to act.

If you're worried about your relationship or about someone you know, help is on hand. Contact the National Domestic Violence Helpline on 0808 2000 247, or get in touch with us for support through our Survivors Network.

Recovery is a long journey, filled with ups and downs - some days will feel easier and some will be hard to get through. If you're struggling today, remember, you can get through this - just look how far you've already come 🧡

Want to deepen your understanding of the different factors that contribute to domestic abuse?

Our brand new Pregnancy and Domestic Abuse training course explores how domestic abuse can begin or escalate during pregnancy and the postnatal period, and the impact this has on women and their babies. You’ll learn how to recognise abuse, respond safely to disclosures, and help create spaces where pregnant women feel believed, supported and protected.

Join us to take a deeper dive into this key topic and broaden your knowledge, so that you can be better equipped to support survivors.

Spaces are limited - sign up now to join the first of this course on Wednesday 29th September, 10am - 12noon, or see more available dates in 2026 and throughout 2027.

"It's a safe place, where pain and trauma can coexist with healing and growth."

Six stories from six women, representing a thousand others. Each now seen, heard and supported as they move forward in recovery.

This milestone is bittersweet, proving the devastating reality of abuse faced by too many women. Those in our churches and communities who have been hurt by those who should have loved and cared for them. The Survivors Network shouldn’t need to exist, and yet women continue to join us each day as they navigate the long and complicated road of healing.

At the same time, we’re grateful that so many have found us. The stories shared here are just a small insight into the life changing impact of the Survivors Network: women realising that they aren’t alone, that they don’t need to suffer in silence, that freedom and recovery are possible. Friendships formed, value rediscovered, space to breathe again.

As we mark this moment, we want to say a huge thank you to you for the part you play in making this possible. Your support is essential; together, we are all part of this community, changing the story for survivors with every step.

Domestic abuse is complicated and often very well hidden, but there are signs that we can be aware of to help keep ourselves and our loved ones safe.

It often seems that justice isn't done.

The justice system, our churches, even our friends and family might not see the truth of what has happened. But we can trust that God sees. He's with us in our sorrow, collects our tears, and will one day establish perfect justice.

Until then, you don't need to struggle alone. Our community of survivors is here for you - get in touch to find out more.

Forgiveness is one of the biggest topics raised in our Survivors Network. Should survivors forgive and forget? What does that mean in practice? How can we balance the Christian call to forgiveness with a desire for justice and accountability?

Forgiveness should never be prioritised over care for survivors. It takes time, and getting to a place of safety and freedom should come first.
