Supporting the most isolated women
The Haven have recently been successful with funding from the DCLG as part of a regional specialist consortium bid. The funding is enabling us to run a project supporting women with no recourse to public funds. Since the beginning of the project we have been running at full capacity.

Our Girl
The Haven has delivered the Our Girl campaign as part of the West Mids Specialist Domestic Abuse Consortium.
‘Our Girl’ is a forced marriage prevention film that acts as a central resource for the Our Girl national prevention and awareness campaign, raising awareness with the clear message that forcing someone to marry against their will is a breach of basic human rights.

Living Wage
The real cost of living in the UK is £8.45 per hour and at The Haven we're committed to ensuring we meet this for our staff. As such we're delighted to be part of the Living Wage Foundation and to announce that we pay all permanent and sessional staff above the real living wage amount.
