Anchored In Hope
Supporting women who have experienced domestic abuse
We know that leaving an abusive relationship can feel overwhelming, both emotionally and practically. At Anchored in Hope, no one has to face it alone. Together, we create a safe and supportive community where women can connect, share, and find strength in one another as they navigate these challenges side by side.
Anchored In Hope is a Portsmouth-based charity offering peer support, wellbeing sessions, and an 8-week Understanding Trauma course for women who have left abusive relationships.
We believe healing is not something we should have to do alone. Many women imagine that once they leave, life will become calm and safe. For many, however, new and unexpected challenges emerge, and the emotional toll of an abusive relationship often becomes clearer only after it has ended.
Anchored In Hope exists to support women as they navigate life after leaving — offering safe, compassionate spaces to connect, understand their experiences, and begin to heal at their own pace.
