Longleigh Foundation awards £35k to fund vital recovery programme for Southampton women’s refuge

Southampton women’s refuge has secured funding to pay for a vital recovery programme aimed at helping victims of domestic abuse regain their lives.

Our new foundation, the Longleigh Foundation, awarded South Hampshire Women’s Refuge £35,000 to fund an innovative six-month ‘Recovery Toolkit’ scheme designed to equip women in crisis with the life skills they need to leave their situations and live independently.

The six-month programme will fund 15 women at a cost of around £2,300 per candidate, enabling each to gain a Level 1 Certificate in Developing Personal Confidence and Self Awareness. Longleigh Foundation’s funding will also help South Hampshire Women’s Refuge remodel its support facilities to accommodate more women with complex needs.
