Support for Women

Next Chapter began life as Colchester & Tendring Women’s Refuge in 1976. Since then, our work has branched out to cover all regions of Essex, and our Staff team has grown to over 70 – this growth means we are now able to offer our services to Male clients across Essex.

You can find the support options we have available for Women by visiting our parent site.

Working together for shared outcomes

Our Approach

We know that helping individuals recover from their experiences of domestic abuse is a case-by-case, complex process that can require the involvement of a range of services and partner organisations.

As a well-established provider of specialist domestic abuse services, our organisation recognises the value in collaborative efforts for shared outcomes.
