Her Way Home Appeal
Help us bring housing, healing and hope to women experiencing homelessness
Women experiencing homelessness are often unseen, unheard and ignored by a system that has been designed and funded for men. We want to change that. By providing safe women-only housing and targeted mental health and wellbeing support, we can help more women find their way home.
Our women-only property (the Women’s Project) is a vital resource for many women experiencing homelessness, particularly for victims of gender-based violence who risk re-traumatisation in hostels. But with only five beds and weekday staffing, there’s so much more we need to do.
With your support, we can double our capacity in women-only accommodation, introduce 24/7 wraparound support and provide specialist mental health and wellbeing services.
How your support will help
Housing
Healing
Women experiencing homelessness often have unique and additional needs, and gender-based violence is a near universal experience. By providing targeted 24/7 wraparound support, specialist counselling, therapy and addiction recovery services and employing more dedicated support workers, together we can create lasting change in lives that have been shaped by trauma.
Hope
We’ll support our female residents for as long as we’re needed but our goal is always to see them settle into their own home. With your support, we can help our residents strengthen their sense of self, self-worth and independence through Personalisation and Move-On funds and engagement activities such as day trips, workshops and life-skills training.
Housing
With a larger or additional women-only property, we can provide this vital resource to more women in Oxfordshire who are in desperate need of a safe space to call home. Your support will help us purchase, renovate and furnish a new property or properties so we can double our capacity.

Help women like Gina
Like so many women who are struggling to cope with trauma and homelessness, Gina sought security in a relationship – but it soon became abusive. Despite initially making good progress at the Women’s Project, the relationship continued and for Gina’s safety we had to refer her back to a hostel. With 24/7 wraparound support in our women-only accommodation, women like Gina can find the stability they need to rebuild their lives. Read Gina’s story…
