We are working with local and national partners to develop a pilot for ‘residential women’s centres’ in at least five sites across England and Wales.

Over the next few months, we are undertaking an initial engagement process with stakeholders and potential providers and partners to refine the design and delivery model for the pilot. This will support our co-design approach for taking forward the pilot.

As part of this engagement process, we want to identify the most suitable areas for the pilot sites. It is not possible yet to say where they will be at this time. However, as with other areas, we are keen to engage with stakeholders and partners in Wales to determine appetite and suitability.
