Advance

We help women and girls who have experienced trauma through domestic abuse and the criminal justice system to rebuild their lives. We do this by providing practical and emotional support, wherever and whenever a woman or girl wants it. They’re often facing multiple challenges at once, such as housing, mental health and personal safety.

We run services across London and the south of England in safe, women-only spaces like our women’s centres. We also work collaboratively in key locations, like police stations and hospitals, so that women and girls get help at the earliest opportunity. We work closely with a variety of partners offering specialist support, including for Black and minoritised women and those from LGBTQIA+ communities.

We know from our 25 years of experience what works to help women and girls rebuild their lives and prevent further trauma.
