Everyone wants to feel safe in their community, but for women experiencing - or who have experienced - domestic abuse, that safety can feel out of reach. That's where My Sisters’ House (MSH) comes in, providing trauma-informed services - a lifeline of vital services by women, for women.

Beneficiaries
In many domestic abuse cases, women disengage from statutory support due to challenges such as language barriers, feelings of mistrust, complex documentation demands, and the re-traumatising experience of having to retell their story. These women are struggling against social and economic disadvantages. Often clients are going through significant life events, such as fleeing home, leaving a job, needing a new home, having a baby, experiencing grief, and starting a whole new life for themselves.
My Sisters' House offers support of trained specialist staff with knowledge and experience in the fields of domestic abuse, one-to-one key working, emotional and employment support. Our wraparound services include benefit & financial guidance, resettlement advocacy, peer support groups, one to one counselling, and healthy relationship and wellbeing courses. We provide safety equipment and toiletries to help maintain a women’s dignity as well as access to baby bundles and foodbank vouchers.
