Get Help

Ashiana offers confidential one-to-one and group support to women and girls experiencing any form of violence and abuse helping them make informed choices and exit violent situations.

Whether you are at immediate risk or just need someone to talk to, our team listens without judgement. We work in 17 languages and can match you with a worker who shares your background where possible.

Ashiana provides specialist refuge accommodation for women survivors of human trafficking and their children. Refuge is a safe, confidential address its location is never shared.

If you need refuge support but cannot stay in our accommodation, our team will help you find a suitable space elsewhere in the country.

We run regular group sessions and courses on recovery, parenting after abuse, financial independence, ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages), and creative therapeutic work.

Groups are women-only, free, and held in confidential locations across Sheffield.

Call 0114 255 5740 Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Outside those hours, the National Domestic Abuse Helpline answers 24 hours a day: 0808 200 0247.

In an emergency, always call 999. If you cannot speak, dial 999 and press 55 on your keypad to alert the operator silently.

If your immigration status means you cannot access mainstream benefits, our specialist NRPF team can help including emergency support, signposting to immigration solicitors, and applying for the Destitute Domestic Violence Concession where eligible.

We will never ask about your immigration status as a condition of helping you.

Ashiana runs drop-in sessions throughout the week where you can come and meet a worker without booking. Call us for the latest schedule and location.
