Empowered Insights is dedicated to education and prevention of domestic abuse, supporting those affected by it and helping professionals respond with confidence and compassion.
Our vision is simple: a future where fewer people experience abuse, more people receive the right support and no one feels they have to face it alone.
We’re a survivor-led organisation and everything we make goes straight back into the work we deliver.

The Reconnect Project
A phone can change everything
♥
Leaving often means losing your phone, or staying at risk through one an abuser can see. Reconnect gives survivors a safe, wiped-clean phone so they can reach the people and services they need again.
