Home Refuge Scheme - free service for anyone suffering domestic abuse

The Home Refuge Scheme is a free service for anyone suffering domestic abuse and wanting to remain in their home. It provides security measures such as door viewers, flap lock letter boxes and self-adhesive window alarms, to help you feel safer in your home.
Please note that if your home is a joint tenacy property or is jointly owned we will not be able to install measures which may prevent the other party from accessing the property.
Wokingham DASS is an integrated domestic abuse service that can offer support and is run by Cranstoun. Visit the Cranstoun website for further information. If you would like a referral to Cranstoun we can do this for you.
We can also make a referral to the Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service for a Fire Safety Assessment if you require this.
(Please note: When completing the referral form save the form to your phone/laptop first. You'll then be able to edit and email it to us.)
