A beautiful piece of artwork gifted to us in celebration of 40 years of refuge. ❤️

A meaningful reminder of whakaruruhau, creating spaces of safety, strength and mana for wāhine, tamariki and whānau.

We are so grateful for this special taonga and the story it represents. NZ & Māori Inspired Art Prints | Willa Black Prints NZ

“Sorry” is only the beginning.

A genuine apology requires accountability, changed behaviour, and a commitment to doing better. Without change, words alone cannot repair harm.

Safe place. Fresh start. 🤍
Everyone deserves a place where they feel safe, supported, and valued.
For women and children escaping family violence, a safe place can be the first step towards healing, rebuilding, and creating a new future.

A fresh start begins with safety, support, and someone standing beside you. 🌱

Mānawatia a Matariki ✨

As the Matariki stars rise, we take time to reflect on those who came before us, celebrate where we are today, and look ahead with hope for the future.

While many take time to rest and reconnect with loved ones, please remember that support never takes a holiday. Our team is here for wāhine and whānau 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Matariki. 💜

Healing takes time.
It is not linear, and it does not look the same for everyone.

Three simple messages. Three powerful reminders. 💜

We believe you.
We support you.
We are here for you.

No one should have to face family violence alone. Whether you're reaching out for yourself, a friend, or a whānau member, you deserve to be heard, believed, and supported without judgment.

Knowledge is power. 💜
The Power and Control Wheel reminds us that abuse isn’t just physical, it can also be emotional, financial, psychological, and more. Recognising the signs is the first step to creating safer relationships.

Family violence doesn't just affect one person, it creates a ripple effect that reaches tamariki, whānau, and entire communities.
