Fortalice was established in 1977 to provide emergency accommodation and support for women and children experiencing domestic abuse within their own homes. The project has expanded over the years and now provides a diverse range of services for women, men, families, children and young people within both Refuge and Outreach Support Centre.
The ethos of Fortalice in relation to support is to focus on self-help, promoting self-esteem, developing news skills, confidence and independence to enable victims to break free from abusive relationships and reduce the chance of re-victimisation, this moving on to a self-sustaining, independent life.
Fortalice provides support for all victims of domestic abuse in Bolton and services include refuge accommodation, 24 hour advice line, IDVA and ISVA services, IRIS, specialist children and young people’s service and counselling.
