Para 1.20	Domestic abuse figures continue to escalate and during the year, the organisation provided support to 2265 women in and around the Wythenshawe area. Support included practical assistance when moving out of Refuge, moving out of area, sourcing household items, and providing food & toiletries where required. Twice weekly Freedom Programme group session were added to the portfolio of regular Coffee Morning sessions, Healthy Relationships, Confidence Building and Arts & Crafts sessions. This gave more women the opportunity to access our ‘add-on’ services.

All one-to-one appointments proved to be valuable in allowing time to deal with more complex trauma cases. Practical advice and skills were provided to support services users live happy, safe and sustainable lives. Local partnership working with Police, Social Services, Schools, Housing, Food banks and other organisations continue to be invaluable.
