I need help

We are here to listen and support you without judgement . Whether you need to leave quickly or support to stay more safely, we work alongside survivors to develop a plan of support that works for you.

The Elm Foundation will work with you to empower you to rebuild your life and recover from the abuse you have been subjected to.

Our safe accommodation includes refuges for women, a refuge for male survivors and self-contained accommodation. This means we can meet a wide range of differing needs. As families, with or without children, or as an individual – we can support you to escape.
