Economic abuse is a common tactic used by perpetrators of domestic abuse to control and isolate women, often leaving them without access to money, bank accounts or financial independence. This can create significant barriers to leaving an abusive relationship and rebuilding life afterwards. Many women and children arrive at our service with a bin bag of belongings and face complex legal, emotional and practical challenges as they start their new beginning.

• Access to legal support and guidance to help women navigate housing, child arrangements, protective measures and other legal challenges as they move on from abuse • Education and learning opportunities to build confidence, develop skills and improve future prospects for women and their children • Practical support through suitcases and travel essentials, ensuring women and children can leave and transition with dignity, rather than carrying belongings in bin bags.
