How to Help
Adopt A Space
Support transformational healing by adopting one of Alice House’s spaces.
Help Build Safe Spaces with Alice House
When you adopt a space, you do more than give — you create a place where healing, strength, and safety can grow. Your support becomes the walls, the warmth, and the resources that empower women and children moving beyond intimate partner violence toward stability and hope.
Why Adopting a Space Matters
Alice House offers more than a safe place to live. We are a place of sanctuary, where people recovering from trauma find security, counselling, wrap-around supports, and education.
But spaces — private, secure, dignified spaces — are at the heart of this work. By adopting a space at our Drop-in Centre or one of our Safe Housing units, you ensure that essential parts of our facility are ready, welcoming, and fully equipped for the work of healing.
Who Can Adopt a Space
Whether you’re an individual who believes in change, a business with a mission, or a community group with heart, adopting a space is for you.
What You’ll Receive When You Adopt a Space
In appreciation of your partnership, Alice House offers:
- Recognition on our website and social media, honouring your role in making spaces safe.
- Plaque recognition at our Drop-in Centre, a marker of your commitment.
- An impact update twice a year, so you see how your space adoption is changing lives.
- Invitations to community events and to our Annual General Meeting — so you can see, meet, and celebrate with us.
- Opportunities for direct engagement (visits, volunteer connections, or special initiatives) where possible.
