BCHA work closely with Plymouth Alliance Services to provide support to women to help them rebuild their lives and move forward – by offering therapeutic interventions, addressing their homelessness and considering their goals and future aspirations.
Our women’s refuge has been open for some years and we have created a really positive, safe and secure environment for women and our support staff to work together. We are now growing this service in order to support more women.
