‘In Conversation With…’

A look ahead with Interim CEO, Abigail Ampofo, and Chair of Trustees, Hetti Barkworth-Nanton CBE, as they discuss furthering Refuge’s mission to build a world free from domestic abuse, initiatives to help us get there and how your involvement is fundamental in helping us succeed.

How is physical and emotional safety equally important for survivor recovery? Focused on our dispersed accommodation pilot, we will discuss how it differs from a traditional refuge and how it can benefit survivors who face additional barriers accessing refuges, who, without these vital spaces, may not have been able to flee from abuse safely.

Half of the residents in our refuges are children who flee with their mothers. In this session, Refuge’s Senior Programme Manager will share how we are working with children, and families, affected by domestic abuse and the innovations the team is making to create even more tailored, practical support.
