The Potteries Women's Refuge was established in 1979, when a group of women from Keele University identified the need that women and children, who having suffered maltreatment require accommodation, advice and support.

Initially the group squatted in an old children's home in the Penkhull region of Stoke on Trent. The Refuge moved in 1981 to Bath Street, and again in 1982 to its present location in Waterloo Road, Burslem, Stoke on Trent.
