Referrals
Our team are ready and willing to listen to women in need of support, who are experiencing domestic violence.
We are inclusive
If we have a suitable room in the refuge available, then providing the woman referred meets our criteria, the referral is always accepted and the woman can move in immediately.
Who refers women in need?
You can refer yourself by phoning us directly or someone can ring on your behalf.
The process
Rooms are allocated on a first come basis, we do not operate a waiting list.
We talk to the woman over the phone initially to give details of the refuge and to allow her to ask us any questions.
A more detailed admission and risk assessment process is completed once she arrives at Gilgal.

The Refuge
Gilgal can host up to 14 women and 10 children, living comfortably, with their own bedrooms and sharing kitchen and living facilities.
Support
Women and children often arrive at Gilgal feeling abandoned and alone. Our Support Workers and Children’s Workers are vital to help women on the path to recovery.
