Who We Are

Our mission is to support anyone in Leeds affected by domestic violence and abuse. We work with people of all genders, including women, men and non-binary people, to understand their experiences and move forward in a way that works for them.

We are commissioned by the local authority and are made up of staff from three specialist organisations in Leeds, who have decades of experience working with people affected by domestic violence and abuse. These three specialist organisations are Leeds Women’s Aid, Behind Closed Doors, and Women’s Health Matters.

Staff from these organisations are dedicated, non-judgemental and highly experienced in supporting people affected by domestic violence and abuse. We work together to make sure clients get the best all-round support.
