Accommodation

We have four refuges across the Bradford District. We offer safe accommodation for single women or women with children in a range of shared and self-contained units, rooms or flats. Our largest unit can accommodate up to 7 children. The accommodation service also has a portfolio of dispersed properties across the Bradford District, ranging from 1 bed flats to 4 bed houses.

We can support male victims by offering accommodation within the dispersed service. We can also support people who have no recourse to public funds providing that the council or another agency is able to support financially with rental costs and living costs.

Support for children and families

We work with children and families in Bradford who have experienced domestic abuse and need support to move on to a brighter future. We use play based and creative approaches to support families to feel safer, rebuild relationships and understand the impact of domestic abuse and trauma.
