Children living in our Refuge have access to support through accessing some of the programmes listed below, but we also provide emotional support as soon as they arrive at the Refuge. Children are provided with packs with differentiated resources in to work through with a member of the child support team throughout their time in the Refuge. This enables them to process and learn to reflect about their thoughts and feelings whilst developing trusting relationships with staff.
For children age 11 and older, please visit our Young Person Project page.

The Helping Hands Programme is a 10 week-long programme, designed for Primary School aged children (KS1& 2/ age 5-11) and looks to explore protective behaviour themes, helping children to identify feelings and how they impact behaviours in others and themselves.
The overall aim of the programme is “to increase children’s understanding of feeling safe and to explore and promote behaviours which will contribute to a safe environment.”
Each session builds on the knowledge from the previous week. It has been developed to encourage creativity and play as tools to investigate and reflect on their thoughts, experiences and understanding of safety, empowerment and resilience.
