A Christian, survivor-centred vision
We are building towards a calm, trauma-informed refuge for women and their children after sexual violence. Shaped by lived experience, our vision is practical care, a consistent point of contact and a gentler journey from crisis towards safety.
The heart behind the vision
Justice Warriors did not begin as a business idea. It was born from lived experience—from knowing what it feels like to carry pain nobody can see, to lose your voice, and to need somebody to believe you and stay beside you.
I know how frightening and lonely trauma can be. I know what it is like when you are already broken and then have to keep explaining yourself to different people. That is why my heart is for one calm, consistent person who does not disappear when the next part of the journey begins.
Justice Warriors is Christian at its foundation. We believe God meets people in broken places and that restoration is possible. Faith will never be forced on anybody. We will love without judgement, respect every survivor’s choices and quietly carry hope when they cannot yet carry it for themselves.
This is the support I wish had been there in my darkest hours. Now my heart is to build it safely, properly and prayerfully for somebody else.
— Anne-Marie Worsley-Bond, Founder & CVO
Our proposed crisis-to-safety pathway
From the moment of crisis, through to safety and beyond.
Justice Warriors is developing a proposed post-SARC refuge and continuing-support pathway for women and their children following sexual violence. Our aim is to work alongside police, Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) and specialist services through agreed arrangements. We want survivors to have a calm, consistent person beside them, practical support after SARC and a place to rest while planning their next steps. We are still working towards partnerships with the police and New Pathways, including its Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) services. These partnerships and referral arrangements are still being developed and have not yet been formally agreed. One Calm Journey is not yet operating.
Taking time. Explaining what happens next. Asking before offering help. Respecting privacy, personal space and each person’s choices. Nobody would have to tell their story to receive kindness or take part in faith activities to be welcomed.
Building the foundations with four trustees: charity registration work, safeguarding policies, training, banking, funding and conversations with professionals. Our refuge, transport and ongoing support remain plans that need the right people, premises and agreements before they can begin.
The proposed refuge would be a private, controlled and safeguarded crisis setting. It would not be a walk-in service and there would be no public self-referral. Our hope is to develop an agreed professional referral pathway with police, SARC and specialist services, with Justice Warriors involved only at the appropriate point and with the survivor’s consent.
Police would enter first and confirm that attendance is safe. With the survivor’s consent, a trained Justice Warriors point of contact would join at the agreed stage. Emergency help must never wait for us.
A reassuring, trauma-informed person alongside the survivor — helping reduce fear, explain the next manageable step and support small choices without pressure.
Our proposed role includes agreed, insured transport and calm handovers to SARC and onward support, following professional advice on evidence preservation. SARC, police, healthcare and specialist professionals retain their expert roles.
After SARC, an eligible survivor could be professionally referred to our proposed small crisis refuge: up to six survivors, with appropriate provision for children. Short stays would be up to one month; longer stays would be two to three months in total, including any initial short stay, shaped around individual needs and an agreed support plan.
Where possible and consented to, the same Justice Warriors point of contact would remain alongside the survivor so every handover does not feel like starting again.
Food, clothing, toiletries, fresh bedding and time to rest, alongside optional grounding and creative activities. We would plan the next destination with the survivor and relevant services, checking safety concerns and practical needs before they leave.
Before departure, we would agree a moving-on plan, practical essentials, transport and the next contact. With consent, assessed home preparation and cleaning could be arranged. Optional check-ins could continue for up to 12 months, as resources allow.
Our vision is continuity, dignity and choice: a friendly, calm handover between professionals, a safe place to breathe after SARC, and thoughtful preparation for what comes next.
Standing in the gap
Maybe you have lived through something unthinkable yourself. Maybe somebody you love has, and seeing what it did to them touched your heart in a way you cannot forget.
Trauma can affect where somebody lives, who they trust, how they think and the choices they make while simply trying to survive. Without the right support, a person may become isolated, lose stable housing, return to an unsafe situation or fall through the gaps between services. Those outcomes are not inevitable.
Our future refuge would offer warmth, dignity, practical essentials and a little time to understand the next safe choice — without pressure and without judgement.
We would listen, help the survivor breathe, explain the next manageable step and keep asking, “What do you need, and who is the right person to help?” Every person and every case is different. Support must be person-centred, consent-led and safe.
Because we are Christians, we believe in the power of prayer. Any prayer alongside survivors would be silent. Participation in faith activities would never be expected. Whatever a person believes, they would be welcomed without judgement and supported with dignity.
One Calm Journey · practical care and moving on
Our vision goes beyond a room for the night. We want women and children to have time to rest, practical things they need and thoughtful support for what comes next. We would listen to each person’s wishes and plan with them, at their pace.
Food and drinks, fresh clothing, clean towels, toiletries and bedding, with appropriate essentials for children. After SARC, a clean, comfortable bathroom would be ready when wanted, following any individual SARC advice. Comfort and choice would come before routine paperwork.
A grounding room for quiet, an art room for optional creative activities and welcoming spaces to rest. Nobody would have to talk about their experience or join an activity. Our Christian identity would sit alongside respect for every person’s beliefs; prayer would always be optional.
We would work with the survivor and relevant professionals to review the proposed destination, risks, access, keys, locks, utilities, sleeping arrangements, children’s needs and transport. Where home is unsafe, we would seek suitable alternatives with housing and specialist services. Reaching a planned leaving date would not, by itself, make an unsafe return suitable.
With the survivor’s permission, we hope to coordinate an assessed, insured home-cleaning and preparation service before return. Where police have controlled a scene, their permission for entry and the proposed work would be confirmed first. Hazardous or trauma-scene cleaning would be carried out only by appropriately trained and insured specialists.
Where wanted and funded, we would help with fresh sheets, towels, clothing, food, age-appropriate toiletries and chosen comfort items. We would agree what may be cleaned, moved or replaced; belongings would never be discarded without permission. Practical comfort would support, rather than replace, a separate review of safety.
Before departure, we would agree a practical plan, useful contacts, appointments, consented referrals and a safe way to keep in touch. Optional check-ins could taper over up to 12 months, as resources allow, alongside appropriate specialist support. Each person would have a choice about ongoing contact.
This is the service we are working towards. Justice Warriors is not yet accepting referrals or providing refuge, transport, home-cleaning or aftercare services. These plans depend on suitable funding, staffing, insurance, premises and agreed professional arrangements. We would take safety concerns seriously and work to reduce risks; no service can guarantee someone’s safety.
Our future refuge
We are working towards a refuge for up to six survivors, with appropriate provision for children. Short stays: up to one month. Longer stays: two to three months in total. Each stay would be guided by individual needs, safety and an agreed support plan.
Our vision includes a grounding room, an art room and a calm, private room for agreed police meetings, alongside welcoming bedrooms and shared living spaces.
These pictures from our master show proposed designs, not an existing or open refuge. The final rooms will depend on the property and agreed arrangements.
Our vision includes a grounding room for quiet and calm, and an art room for optional creative activities. This master illustration shows the atmosphere we hope to create.
A relaxed, comfortable space for agreed meetings with police, away from bedrooms and shared living areas.
A warm family bedroom concept, with privacy, comfort and space for children close to their parent.
Comfortable shared living space, with choices about company, quiet and time to rest.

Contact the FounderLatest progress
We are working hard to get each step right and bring the right people on board. Justice Warriors now has four trustees in place. We are progressing our CIO/charity registration and setting up an organisational bank account.
We have spoken with Primark and a local food bank, and we are having early conversations with other organisations that want to help. These are developing conversations, not confirmed partnerships. As registration progresses, we hope to build strong, lasting partnerships that help us prepare responsibly for survivors.
At the same time, we are working towards partnerships with the police and New Pathways/SARC, recruiting skilled volunteers and advisers, building the proposed One Calm Journey pathway and preparing responsibly for the stages that must come before any survivor-facing service can open.
Justice Warriors is still in formation and is not yet an operational refuge or emergency service.
Professional partners
We welcome conversations with appropriate professionals and organisations across policing, SARC and specialist sexual-violence services, NHS and healthcare, safeguarding, housing, law, finance, business, property, training, communications, technology, churches and community networks.
We are still working towards partnerships with the police and New Pathways/SARC. Our discussions and proposed arrangements remain in development; we will share confirmed arrangements when they have been agreed.
