FAMILY HELP

Family Help, the Darlington Women's Refuge, was founded in 1976 in order to provide safe, temporary accommodation for women and women with children fleeing domestic abuse. We accept women and women with children from all areas. The former registered charity was wound up in 2013 with all activities transferred to the present charitable incorporated organisation "Family Help Darlington CIO" although we continue to use "Family Help" as a working name... Family Help offer specialist domestic abuse support for women and women with children fleeing domestic abuse. We can provide safe temporary accommodation for those that need it, in our purpose built refuge with 8 units... Family Help began due to the dedication and support of a small group of local people. During one of the first meetings it was asked what should we call ourselves? The answer came in the form of - what do we do? We help families, therefore we became ‘Family Help'.
