Our services

Eleven ways we help families rebuild.

Every service is free, confidential and open to everyone — regardless of race, ethnicity, sexuality, age or any other factor. You choose what you need; we walk at your pace.

01

Prevention & education

Talks in schools and communities, FGM awareness and public speaking that names abuse before it takes hold.

02

Crisis intervention

Immediate, confidential telephone support and rapid practical help at the most dangerous moment — the decision to leave.

03

Safe accommodation pathways

Routes to refuge and safe housing, coordinated with trusted partner agencies across the UK.

04

Emotional & psychological recovery

Counselling, one-to-one support and survivor-led group work — services built on listening.

05

Legal advocacy

Support through injunctions, family court and immigration matters — someone beside you who knows the system.

06

Financial independence

Benefits guidance, debt advice and budgeting support to break the financial control abuse depends on.

07

Employment & education support

CVs, training, courses and confidence — practical steps back into work and learning.

08

Children's recovery services

Age-appropriate therapeutic support helping children feel safe again — and know the abuse was never their fault.

09

Men's survivor services

Confidential, judgement-free support for male survivors — because abuse against men is real, and so is recovery.

10

Community outreach

Meeting people where they are — through local groups, faith communities and partner agencies across Bradford and beyond.

11

Long-term empowerment

We don't stop at safety. Mentoring, peer networks and follow-up support for a fulfilling, independent life.

Ruth for Women

By women, for women and teenage girls.

RFW works from a women-centred perspective: domestic violence, FGM, rape, sexual abuse and exploitation are an abuse of power — and no woman should ever be blamed for being abused. Our services are run by women and shaped by listening to survivors.

  • —Telephone support
  • —One-to-one support
  • —Group work
  • —Advocacy
  • —Counselling
  • —FGM awareness
Men's survivor services

It takes strength to ask for help.

One in three victims of domestic abuse is male — yet men are far less likely to reach out. Our men's service offers the same confidential listening, advocacy and recovery support, without judgement and without doubt.

You can also call the national Men's Advice Line on 0808 801 0327 (free, confidential).

Children & young people

Helping small shoulders put down heavy things.

Children who live with abuse carry it long after the door closes behind them. Our children's recovery services use play, talk and therapeutic support to help young people feel safe again — and to teach every child that the abuse was never, ever their fault.

Young people can also talk to Childline any time on 0800 1111.

Whatever you need first, start with one call.
