We’re here for people who find themselves in situations that make it hard to live safely.

Everyone’s needs are different. Sometimes it’s about finding a safe space to live. Sometimes it’s about developing the skills and confidence to build a brighter life.

Whatever the situation, we develop and tailor our knowledge and experience to match their individual circumstances. For over thirty years, we've given adults and families the support they need to build the positive life they deserve.

The difference we make

We support people to change their own lives for the better. In 2021-22 we…

  • Supported 4,000+ people
  • Gave sanctuary to people in our 152 units around Wales
  • Successfully helped 680 people to access government funding
  • Educated 5,978 children about healthy relationships
  • Welcomed over 1,000 men into our Men’s Sheds

Every life lost to domestic abuse is a tragedy that leaves a deep void in families and communities.

Preventing domestic homicides is possible, but it requires strong multi-agency collaboration and effective intervention for perpetrators. @guardian

We had a lovely day today with @StoriNewChapter 's wonderful and creative Young People's Project staff! We explored helping cyp express, recognise and regulate emotions, distinguish healthy/ unhealthy relationships, understand personal safety and access appropriate support! WMB

With more than 100 other organisations & individuals, we've signed the Wales statement of solidarity & togetherness.

We stand with all affected by the ongoing events, including sector colleagues, & the customers & communities that our members work with.
