We help women, children and young people recover after experiencing violence, abuse or unfair treatment. We listen, we understand, and we never judge.

Our support is holistic. Alongside refuge housing we provide counseling, therapy, skills courses, group trips, residentials and confidence building programmes. Our professional experts help women understand their rights and gain independence. And we advocate on their behalf to make sure those rights are upheld.

With us, women have a choice and a voice. Because we take the time to support women through all the different needs and challenges they might face, we give them the chance to truly rebuild their lives.

Help us shape a society where women and children from diverse communities achieve their full potential – free from inequality, discrimination, violence and abuse.

The Angelou Centre is one of the few surviving Black-led organisations for women, by women. We are professionals, but we’re also your sister, your auntie, your friend. We understand cultural and religious issues in a way other organisations might not. Our staff speak 14 languages, and if we can’t speak yours we will find someone who can. For over 30 years we’ve combined our expertise with a level of care we would give to someone we love. And we have shared our expertise with people in power to try and build a society that’s fairer and safer for everyone.
