The First Step is a women-led charity dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic abuse. For over 30 years, we’ve empowered women and children, providing safe refuge, expert support, and advocacy for those in need.

Our mission is simple: to ensure no one faces abuse alone. We work with local communities, partners, and authorities to break the cycle of abuse, champion equality, and create lasting change.

Driven by compassion and expertise, our team delivers services that are safe, inclusive, and survivor-focused, making a real difference in the lives of women and families across Knowsley and beyond.
