The new hubs have been opened as part of Oxfordshire County Council’s partnership with housing association and developer A2Dominion. The two new ‘places of safety’ will provide those Oxfordshire residents at risk of domestic abuse with specialised support and accommodation. The new scheme has been supported with funding from the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government, as part of £16.6m funding provided to 75 domestic abuse support projects. The Oxfordshire Domestic Abuse Service currently offers residents a safe place to live when fleeing domestic abuse, with several shelters across the county.
