We support Women's Recovery following Domestic Abuse

We are a charity based in Gloucester with a mission to empower women in our communities to recover from domestic abuse once the relationship is over.

We are a group of women with lived experience who provide ongoing support for women and their children through a range of services. Our programmes are designed to help women create the stable and independent lives they want by providing practical advice, guidance, and advocacy as well as support to boost their confidence, nurture self-esteem, and improve their overall quality of life.

Our dedicated services help these women and their children reclaim their pride and build a brighter future, free from abuse.

We offer local support in Gloucestershire and surrounding areas, ensuring that help reaches as many as possible. Every woman deserves to feel safe, valued, and empowered, and we're here to support every woman who needs us on that journey.

Why work with us?

Our programmes offer comprehensive, expert guidance, ensuring that every aspect of your recovery, emotional, social, and mental, is supported.

By choosing our services, you are not only taking a decisive step towards reclaiming your life but also embracing the possibility of a brighter, more empowered future. We are here ready to support you on your journey to recovery, independence and happiness.

Help for whole family

We know that children as well as their mothers, need support in recovering from domestic abuse.

Children are affected by witnessing abuse, and so we offer sessions for children and the family unit.

If you are working with us your children can join our tailored programmes to gently explore their emotions in a constructive and healthy way, to reduce feelings of anxiety, frustration, or isolation.

Our Values

Empowerment: We are dedicated to empowering survivors to reclaim their independence and self-worth.

Respect: We treat every individual with compassion, empathy, and respect, honoring their unique experiences and strengths.

Safety: We prioritize creating a safe and secure environment for women to seek support and healing.

Community: We believe in fostering a supportive community that uplifts and advocates for survivors of domestic abuse.

Empathy: We approach our work with empathy, understanding, and non-judgment, recognizing the courage it takes to seek help and healing.
