The Wish Centre

We listen. We support. We empower.

You are not alone and you do not have to stay silent.

Through the provision of support, advice and accommodation we will work with victims, perpetrators and children to secure the safety of those affected by domestic abuse.

The aim of the organisation is to support people who have suffered or who are at risk of suffering domestic abuse, through the provision of support, advice and accommodation.

We will work with victims and their families to secure the safety of those affected by domestic abuse and support their development so that each individual is helped to grow and fulfil their potential into the future.

The Wish Centre is based in Blackburn but supports the wider Lancashire area, including Preston.

Services Offered

• The WISH centre
  The WISH centre is often the first point of contact for people in Blackburn with Darwen, and the wider Lancashire area, who are experiencing domestic abuse.

  We aim to provide a holistic approach incorporating a greater focus on preventing the development of abusive behaviour in individuals and enabling people who are already causing harm to change their behaviour.
