The project is groundbreaking because this is the first time a house has been built from scratch directly to accommodate survivors of domestic abuse, one family at a time. They will stay there for six months, with full support from Refuge, to get their lives back on track.
In this year alone, the charity's abuse helpline has been contacted 49,787 times, with 75 percent of calls coming from survivors of domestic abuse. Every two minutes, someone turns to Refuge for support.
