Save our Refuges
Please help us in our campaign to save our refuge provision.
West Sussex County Council are proposing to cut 100% of funding for supported housing. This would have a devastating impact on our refuge provision and put the lives of women and children at risk.
Please sign the petition by clicking on our logo below asking the leader of West Sussex County Council to protect our refuge provision.
