Tameside Sanctuary Housing Scheme

Help to Survive Domestic Abuse and Remain in Your Own Home

The Sanctuary Scheme helps people feel safer by adding security measures to their property. It will be tailored to your individual needs but can include:- alarms, stronger windows and doors, security lighting, surveillance cameras or even cutting down fences to give you a better view outside. Changes can be made to any type of property - your own or one rented from a private land lord or registered social land lord.

Who is this for?

For victims of domestic abuse:

• living in the Tameside area
• who are separated from an abusive partner or family member and
• wish to remain safely their own homes.

Who runs the scheme?

There is no charge for this service - but your safety needs and your property will be assessed to check the scheme is suitable for you.
