Pendle Hill Crisis Centre
General Information
Pendle Hill Crisis Centre was established since 1987. Our centre houses women and children who are homeless or escaping domestic violence. These families are able to stay for up to 3 months in our short term refuge accommodation.
Some families need extra support. For these families, we have 7 medium-term homes where families are able to stay for up to 2 years.
Our service is within walking distance to transport, shops, a medical centre, and public telephones.

Staff
The refuge is supported by 6 staff.
Our service would not be able to run if not for the many volunteers in our church and community who are actively involved in our ministry to homeless families.
Pendle Hill Crisis Centre works closely with other churches and services in the Parramatta and Holroyd area to give maximum support to the many people who use our service.
All staff are accountable to the leadership of the Stepping Stone Community.
