Wythenshawe Safespots is a user-led domestic abuse charity based in South Manchester. Founded in 2016 by local survivors of domestic abuse, our mission is to provide a safe, welcoming space where women can access help, support, and friendship without fear or judgment. Since opening our doors, we have recorded over 32,000 engagements with women who have experienced or are experiencing domestic abuse. Our drop-in centre, located in the heart of Wythenshawe, offers a confidential, non-judgemental service and acts as a vital hub for information, advice, and community support. We believe that information about domestic abuse should be easy to access and that no one should feel afraid to talk about it. Through our helpline and face-to-face appointments, we are here to help women rebuild their lives and find safety.

Story

Safespots, a charity dedicated to supporting women through some of the most challenging periods of their lives, has launched an urgent appeal for financial support as it faces a significant funding shortfall that threatens the future of its services.

For years, Safespots has provided a safe, trusted and compassionate environment where women can access practical support, advocacy, guidance and hope. The charity works with women experiencing a range of complex challenges, helping them rebuild confidence, improve their wellbeing and move towards safer, more stable futures.

Today, however, the charity finds itself at a critical moment.

Like many charities across the UK, Wythenshawe Safespots is facing unprecedented financial pressures at a time when demand for its services remains high.

Every week, women turn to Safespots for support during some of the most difficult and vulnerable periods of their lives. The charity’s services provide not only practical help, but also connection, dignity and a sense of belonging for those who may have nowhere else to turn.

Safespots changes lives. Every day they witness extraordinary courage from the women they support, and we see the profound impact that compassionate, specialist support can have on helping women move forward.

This appeal is about safeguarding hope, dignity and opportunity for the women who rely on us. With the right support, we can secure the future of Safespots and continue making a safe space for women in need
