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.
