Our refuges
Our refuges provide an environment that is safe, secure and compassionate to all fleeing Domestic Abuse
“Behind closed doors, too many suffer in silence.”
Our refuges are situated across the Ceredigion area. With facilities to accommodate any accessibility needs in our independent refuge. Our communal refuges house women and children only. We also offer a separate secluded accommodation for men and children. The addresses are completely confidential. Our specialised staff are available to offer support no matter who you are.
Whilst in the refuge, each individual is supported and encouraged to develop independent living skills and build up their self-esteem and confidence.
Each individual’s needs are unique and you will be supported in line with your needs assessment through a support plan to help you achieve your goals.
