🌟 A major milestone for our new refuge project 🌟

Thanks to The National Lottery Community Fund we have been awarded £499,999 towards the construction of our new purpose-built refuge!

This is a huge step forward in our mission to provide safe accommodation and specialist support for people escaping domestic abuse. The need for this refuge has never been greater. In 2025 alone, 150 victims were turned away due to a lack of available spaces or because complex needs couldn't be met within existing accommodation settings.

This funding brings us significantly closer to creating a safe, welcoming environment where individuals and families can begin to heal and rebuild their lives.

While this is a major milestone, we still have fundraising to do to reach our overall target. Thank you to everyone who has supported our appeal so far. Together, we can ensure that more people have access to safety, support and hope when they need it most.

You've helped us raise a total of £30,179‼️

We'd like to say a huge thank you to the Big Give for the opportunity, Comserv (UK) Ltd for their generous pledge and our wonderful community of individual supporters and organisations who have come together to support victims fleeing from domestic abuse. We're another step closer to opening the doors to our sanctuary🚪
