Refuge ambassadors on the importance of safe spaces for domestic abuse survivors

Safe houses offer essential shelter and security for those fleeing domestic abuse. However, many refuges have limited funding and space, and sometimes can’t accommodate survivors’ diverse needs—including large families and pets.

Famous supporters of the Brick by Brick campaign speak about the importance of safe houses like the one The Independent and Refuge are building, and how they can provide a sanctuary where survivors can regain independence and rebuild their lives.

Be a brick, buy a brick and donate here or text BRICK to 70560 to donate £15.
