Outreach Services

Our Outreach services aim to reach women who may not otherwise be able to access our support. We meet women where they are.

Krefta Kernow supports women to access safe accommodation when fleeing domestic abuse and our Women’s Assertive Outreach Project supports women who are experiencing homelessness and rough sleeping.

Krefta Kernow (Strength Cornwall)

Krefta Kernow supports people fleeing domestic abuse to access safe accommodation across Cornwall.

Krefta is a partnership project between The Women’s Centre Cornwall, West Cornwall Women’s Aid  and Konnect, who deliver support to men.

Can I access Krefta’s support?

Women need to either be currently housed in Cornwall, or physically be in the county at the time of referral. We can support women to access accommodation either in Cornwall, or anywhere across the UK.

We can support you if you have already made the decision to leave an abusive relationship, or if you are thinking about leaving.

What sort of support does Krefta offer?

  • Assessing immediate housing needs
  • Support to access emergency accommodation
  • Making housing applications
  • Logistic support to leave
  • Safety planning and assessment of other needs
  • Attend appointments with women
  • Holistic support around the impact of domestic abuse
  • Signpost to other relevant services
  • Assess other safer accommodation options beyond emergency housing
