Established in 1974, Leeway is a specialist charity supporting adults, children and young people experiencing domestic abuse in Norfolk and Suffolk.
Leeway currently supports over 11,500 people every year and has around 90 members of staff, as well as over 25 volunteers.
The charity’s free, safe, and confidential services are designed to empower those who are experiencing domestic abuse and give them the confidence needed to make independent choices about their life.
Leeway currently has nine refuges or safehouses across Norfolk, helping service users to plan their future away from danger and key workers will provide support with issues such as housing, benefits, health, safety planning, accessing other agencies and moving on.
We also offer outreach services in the local community, ranging from regular one-to-one meetings with a member of our experienced outreach team to drop-in advice sessions.
In recent years, a new project supporting people where English is not their first language was launched, allowing survivors to get support in a language they understand.
Leeway also offers training to businesses, organisations and individuals, raising awareness of domestic abuse and the role everyone has to play in tackling it.
