Walk/cycle/swim 100 miles · 10 October 2020

We opened our first refuge in 1976, with the vision of achieving 'a life free from violence and abuse in the home for those affected by it'. We are located in Stroud, Gloucestershire, and offer two women's refuges with support for women and children as well as community based outreach services.

Stroud Women's Refuge - supporting women and children affected by domestic abuse

Domestic abuse damages the lives of thousands of people every year.   Stroud Beresford Group  has been offering  accommodation, advice and support to families affected by  domestic  abuse  for over 40 years.

We are a  local, independent charity that  provides  Gloucestershire's  only women's refuge  alongside  a range of other services aimed at  preventing domestic abuse or supporting those at risk..

If you or someone you know needs domestic abuse support, please call us on 01453 764385.


Covid 19 will have a serious and often disproportionate impact on the lives of victims of abuse and we are doing everything we can to adapt our approach to prioritise safety and offer support during this difficult time.   
 
We have been focusing our initial energies on:
  • Ensuring vulnerable people know that we are still available and willing to help
  • Establishing new patterns of service delivery that support social distancing
  • Supporting families within our refuge and the community with urgent needs, including access food, cleaning products and other essentials
  • Working with partner agencies to get our clients the support they need
 
We continue to provide support for people affected by domestic abuse or sexual violence during the pandemic.
