About Stonewater

BME Domestic Abuse Capacity Building Programme – Brighton & Hove Commissioned by Brighton & Hove City Council and delivered by Stonewater, this specialist service offers trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and intersectional support to survivors from Black and Minority Ethnic, minoritised, and marginalised communities across the city. Based within Brighton & Hove Refuge and operating city-wide, we work directly with survivors in the community to ensure no one is excluded. We support all genders aged 16+, at any risk level (high, medium and low), including those facing complex, multi-perpetrator abuse. Our service is accessible regardless of immigration status, language, disability, or other barriers. We support survivors of all forms of abuse, including domestic abuse, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, honour-based abuse, forced marriage, female genital mutilation (FGM), modern slavery, sexual exploitation, and gang-related harm. Referrals are welcome from self-referrals, professionals, and all statutory and non-statutory agencies. Our service offers: Our service includes culturally informed IDVA support, crisis intervention and safeguarding, personalised safety planning, MARAC referrals and representation, survivor-led advocacy, bespoke support planning, referrals and signposting to specialist services, multi-agency collaboration, access to interpreters, support with refuge accommodation, and specialist training and workshops. Our drop-in sessions offer a safe, confidential space to connect with culturally informed IDVAs. Whether in crisis or seeking ongoing support, we’re here every step of the way.
