About us
Refuge is the largest single provider of specialist services to survivors of domestic violence, and other forms of violence against women and children, in Britain. Every day, we provide support to 6,000 women and children. We listen to women, and put their experiences at the heart of the services we run and our campaigns for legal and social change. We opened our first refuge in 1971 and now run a network of emergency confidential accommodation across the country. But that’s not the limit of our services. Here’s just some of what else we offer: • Here’s just some of what else we offer: The freephone, 24-hour National Domestic Abuse Helpline, 0808 200 247 • Expert guidance for women going through the courts and the criminal justice system • Specialist support for children • Outreach services for women who still living with their perpetrator or who do not need to stay in a refuge Refuge does more than treat the symptoms of domestic violence – we’re determined to treat the underlying social problems fuelling male abuse of women. That’s why we run high-profile campaigns to drive social change and lobby the Government to ensure that women receive the protection they need. All of this is backed up by high-quality research, drawn directly from our 300-strong team of frontline experts and their experiences with survivors.

Tonight, don't miss ‘Her Majesty The Queen: Behind Closed Doors’ on ITV at 9pm this evening. It follows the Queen on her mission to shine a spotlight on domestic abuse, and features interviews with Refuge Chair Hetti Barkworth-Nanton CBE, and a number of Refuge Ambassadors, including Sir Patrick Stewart, Dame Helen Mirren, Ranvir Singh and Cherie Blair CBE KC. Refuge Chair Hetti Barkworth-Nanton CBE Barkworth-Nanton said: “Domestic abuse is something that even now, is steeped in shame, shame that is felt overwhelmingly by the victim or survivor. Her majesty vowed in 2016 that she wanted to do something to remove the shroud of shame and be a catalyst for change, and over the last 8 years she has been tireless in her quest to do just that, undeterred by her increasingly senior profile. Thanks to the work of Her Majesty as well as countless others, we have come a long way in this field.”

Last year we supported 720 children and their mums across the country, who fled a life of fear and abuse, arriving at one of our refuges with just the clothes on their back. Right now, women in our refuges are worrying about affording Christmas and making it special for their little ones. Help us to make this Christmas not only a safe one, but a magical one >> https://brnw.ch/21wOov5
