Refuge

If you need a safe place to stay, East Dunbartonshire Women’s Aid may be able to provide you with refuge accommodation or assist you in accessing alternative temporary accommodation or apply safety measures to enhance your safety at home if possible.

We have a 10 refuge spaces in various locations throughout East Dunbartonshire.  We also have 2 satellite refuge accommodations.  Each refuge is self-contained which means you do not have to share with another family.

Refuge is offered to both single women and women with dependent children. Refuge is also offered to women who have experienced domestic abuse in same sex relationships, and to transgender women.  In addition we have barrier free refuge spaces, which are designed for women/children with mobility issues.

Please note: We are currently only able to facilitate refuge admissions within office hours.
