Domestic violence or abuse

How we can help and what services are available.

If you are experiencing domestic abuse, you can get support from our Refuge service, The Gaia Centre.

If you are a Council or Housing Association tenant, we can help you with moving away.

If staying in your own home isn’t an option and you have no alternative accommodation, you can contact the Housing Advice team.

You can request to speak to a housing adviser of the same gender, if you would prefer.

The Housing Advice team can also offer you advice on putting additional security measures into your home for free through our sanctuary schemes.

If you are in an emergency situation, call 999.
