Domestic abuse refuges
Julian House supports men, women and children escaping domestic abuse through safe and secure refuge accommodation where individuals can in a non-judgemental, supportive setting.
We know that moving into the house will be a big transition for our residents and we provide emotion and practical support and guidance, every step of the way.
1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men will experience domestic abuse
Our residents can receive support with housing, employment, training and hobbies. All of which can be tailored to children and families, as well as parents with drug and alcohol difficulties.
This allows us to support them moving into their new home, apply for grants and support them to ensure that everything is in place and that they are safe.Once we have helped them to find appropriate accommodation a support worker will visit them on a weekly basis to check in with them and make sure that everything is ok.Everybody has a right to a safe home.
Coming to the Julian House refuge was the best thing for me. I needed to be around women to let my guard down and feel safe – and to see that the other women were able to as well. Because, when you see somebody else feeling safe like that, you think I can trust now too.
