We provide safe, temporary accommodation to women, children and young people who have, or are experiencing domestic abuse.

Our charity works closely with West Lothian Council and Scottish Women’s Aid as well as a number of other organisations, working together to create better outcomes and all round support for the women and families we support.

We offer help with a variety of issues and are experienced across a wide range of support requirements.

We can assist with emotional support, legal guidance, financial advice and help for children and young people amongst other support needs.

Women who used our services over the last year reported several key benefits as a result of our interventions. These include:

Feeling safer and supported to make safe choices, improved financial benefits, increased self-esteem, confidence, resilience and improved mental well-being.

We offer intense support to women and their families. We support children and young people through our Summer Club and other annual activities, we offer one to one support with trained CYP workers, as well as ensuring all children supported through our service have a Christmas to remember.

Domestic abuse is persistent and controlling behaviour by a partner or ex-partner which causes physical, sexual and/or emotional harm. It often gets worse over time. It is very common. In most cases, it is experienced by women and children and is perpetrated by men. Domestic Abuse goes beyond physical an can include emotional, financial, coercive control - all of which are equally damaging.
