SafeRoots Partnership
Support that understands where you're coming from.
Trauma-informed, culturally attuned support for women and children living in domestic abuse safe accommodation across London. Free, confidential, and in your language.
Five organisations,
one combined offer
SafeRoots brings together five specialist “by and for” organisations, Nour, Nafsiyat, Sister Circle, MEWSO and Mindworks UK, to support minoritised women and children in safe accommodation across London.
Together we combine therapeutic, creative and practical support, shaped around your needs, your culture and your identity. You can refer yourself, or a refuge, housing provider or support worker can refer you.
Who SafeRoots is for:
- Women and children living in domestic abuse safe accommodation in London, including those moving into transition housing
- From migrant, refugee, Muslim and minoritised communities
- Support is available in person, online and in many community languages
Not sure if you're eligible? Make a referral anyway, we'll talk it through with you.
