Refuge
refuges provide temporary, safe, emergency accommodation to women and children who wish to leave an abusive environment
Newport Women's Aid has two refuges in Newport, these can house up to nine families or single women at any one time. The refuges provide temporary, safe, emergency accommodation to women and children who wish to leave an abusive environment.
Both refuges are staffed during the day with 2 refuge workers and child workers. Each worker is there to support the families needs while they work out what their best options are.
Both our refuges are spacious and well laid out, providing one private room per family — the rest of the house is communal. Each refuge has a garden and a special playroom for children.
A safe comfortable place
Our refuge locations are kept private and details are not revealed to the public - hence no pictures from the outside. The contact address details given on this website are for our Information Centre on Stow Hill, in Baneswell, close to Newport City centre.

Poetry
Some people who have been helped by Newport Women's Aid have written poetry to describe their experiences and as "thank yous" to staff.
