Healing homes for domestic abuse survivors
We create fully furnished homes that give hope and dignity to women and children placed in empty social housing after domestic abuse. We use good quality products that could otherwise be destined for landfill, supporting a circular economy.

“You filled my home with light, calm and most importantly that feeling of home. You made me feel like I had made it - like all the struggle and hardship was worth it. You made me feel like it was going to be okay. I will be forever grateful for what you’ve done for my daughter and me. My daughter feels safe, warm and able to be a child now. Thank you!”
