Community Support
The Haven's Community Team support women living in their own homes. Their specialisms enable us to reach women from marginalised groups including BAME, Sexual Violence, FGM, Forced Marriage and Young Women.
We work to empower women and so regularly run the Freedom Programme and Power to Change. Recent research from the University of Wolverhampton shows the impact of this work. Working with young women is key to reach the age-group statistically most likely to experience abuse and raise awareness of the realities of living with abuse. Most recently we delivered training to the University of Wolverhampton's Student's Union to help increase their understanding of the affects of abuse.

Enhancing and Enriching
As well as our main service provision, The Haven runs additional projects and activities where funding allows.
Through funding from Children in Need we've been running our successful children's service in refuge for almost a year, supporting the wellbeing of children who have experienced abuse.
This summer, we're excited to launch our You Matter digital tool, helping women to 'realise it's abuse', thanks to a joint funding initiative between the Tampon Tax Fund, a partnership between HM Government and Comic Relief, and the Big Lottery Fund.

Coming soon, our new parenting programme - The Dolphin Programme. The programme will support mothers to rediscover their confidence and support their parenting whilst overcoming the effects of abuse.
