Help Us Build Real Women’s Refuges – No Time Limits. No Red Tape. Just Real Help.

At Dope Soul Village, we’ve never been about surface-level solutions or sticking plasters. We’re about real change, and right now, we’re joining forces with the incredible Shelly, founder of Led by Dreams, to make that change happen — one safe space at a time.

We’re not building temporary shelters.
We’re building homes.
For women. For their children. For their pets.
With no time limits and tangible support — because survival should never come with a deadline.

This is more than a project — it’s a mission rooted in lived experience. Both Shelly and I (Sam, founder of Dope Soul Village) know first-hand how broken the system is. And we’re doing something about it.

But to get this off the ground, we need you.
This is your chance to be part of a UK-wide movement that will change lives.

  • Security systems

  • Furniture (beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, etc.)

🏡 Landlords & Property Owners – We Need You Too

Are you a landlord who:

  • Has a large multi-room property you’d be willing to lease for use as a women’s refuge?

We are also looking for partners who can offer:

  • Accredited qualifications and skills training

Please email us at help@dopesoulvillage.com to be added to our Safe Housing and Services Network.

 

📣 This Is a Community Mission – And It's Growing

We plan to open multiple women’s refuges across the UK by the end of 2026.

This is just the beginning. And we can’t do it without a village.
If you believe every woman deserves a safe home, a fresh start, and real support - now is the time to act.

Whether you can donate, share, shop, or offer your skills - it all matters.

Let’s build something that lasts.
Let’s rebuild lives.
Let’s show women they’ve not been forgotten.

With love and purpose,
Sam (Dope Soul Village) & Shelly (Led by Dreams)
