Anchored In Hope

Supporting women who have experienced domestic violence

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.

Our Services

We’re so glad you’ve found us. This is a community of women supporting each other through some of the toughest times — a place to breathe, to heal, and to know you’re not alone.

Peer Support


Join our small, supportive groups — in person in Portsmouth or online across England.
This is a safe and confidential space where we can talk openly, connect with others who understand, and find strength in shared experience. Each week, we explore different topics and activities that help us rebuild confidence, rediscover hope, and heal together.

Compassionate, practical support when you need it most. We can help with form filling, letter writing, and attending appointments. Our approach is empowerment-focused — listening, supporting, and signposting to ensure your voice is heard.
