Powerhouse is unique in that it is the UK's first and only safe house for abused women with learning difficulties. It was originally formed so that women with learning difficulties at risk of being abused could access a safe and supportive place to stay. This was the Powerhouse refuge, Beverley Lewis House, which opened in 1995.
