Domestic Abuse Support
The Freedom Programme
The Freedom Programme is a supportive and empowering course designed for women who have experienced domestic abuse. It offers the tools, knowledge, and understanding to help you make sense of your experiences and move forward with confidence. Delivered online, the programme runs over 7 weekly sessions, each lasting 2 hours, in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space.
You’ll explore the patterns and behaviours often used in abusive relationships, helping you to recognise them, rebuild self-esteem and develop a safer & healthier future.
This nationally recognised programme is open to anyone who does not identify as male and provides a welcoming environment where you can connect and reflect.
The programme also aims to:
- Build confidence and self-worth.
- Increase awareness of healthy relationships
- Support emotional healing and resilience
- Help you feel less alone through shared understanding
Take the first step towards a stronger, more empowered you.

“I’ve learned a lot and it’s nice to know I’m not the only one that’s been through this, I felt alone before this. Especially, because it’s easier to talk to strangers than to talk to family and friends. I’m very appreciate of that. I’ve been here through the weeks, without you things would’ve been very different. I’m happy I’ve met all of you and heard all your experiences, because I’ve been through majority of it – I just want to say thank you.”

“I think the Freedom project itself gives us space where you can reflect on situations that you might have doubted yourself in. Should I be accepting this? Is this wrong? Is this the norm? I think labelling the behaviors gives us the knowledge to go, no. It’s not me. It’s not me being too sensitive and we don’t have to accept and excuse those behaviors. I think this project has taught us that it’s not okay, and I think myself and a lot of people just needed that little bit of, no, it’s not you.”
