What We Do
Gilgal is a refuge at a confidential address in Birmingham. We provide a safe environment for women (and their children) who require emergency short-term accommodation and support after they have left a situation of domestic abuse.

Referrals
We welcome women from all backgrounds. If we have a room and the referral critera are met, then women can move in immediately.

Support
Women and children often arrive at Gilgal feeling abandoned and alone. Our Support Workers and Children’s Workers are vital to help women on the path to recovery.
