Changes to domestic abuse services in Plymouth

30th June 2026

Sanctuary Supported Living

Plymouth Domestic Abuse Services (PDAS), previously managed by Sanctuary Supported Living, no longer provides domestic abuse support in Plymouth.

The new support provider for domestic abuse services across the city of Plymouth is the new Plymouth Domestic Abuse Partnership made up of First Light, Ahimsa, and Bridge Outcomes Partnerships.

Alongside this, refuge accommodation in Plymouth is now provided through the Safe Accommodation Support Service Plymouth, delivered by Bournemouth Churches Housing Association and Trevi. The service continues to provide safe accommodation and domestic abuse support for survivors and families. Existing referral arrangements remain in place, although a new referral form will be introduced.

The partnership name is currently serving as an umbrella title while the organisations work collaboratively with all partners, including the refuge accommodation provider, to agree a new service name that reflects the full partnership.

If you, or someone you know, is experiencing any form of domestic abuse or violence, don’t suffer in silence.

In a non-emergency, call 101. Alternatively, call the Women’s Aid 24-hour helpline: 0808 2000 247. To access mental health services through NHS 111, call 111 and select option two. In an emergency, always call 999.

If you live in the Plymouth area and need support, including refuge housing, call the Plymouth Domestic Abuse Partnership on 01752 429 736.

Clients, partner agencies and anyone else who would like to contact the new provider can email: PlymouthDAPartnership@firstlight.org.uk. Referrals and enquiries relating to safe accommodation should be sent to safehomesplymouth@trevi.org.uk.
