We are delighted to announce that Caroline Phansi, CEO of Contento Social Homes, has been officially named a Finalist in the Community Advocate category at the Ladies First 2025 Awards. This well-deserved recognition honours her unwavering dedication to supporting survivors of domestic abuse and her tireless advocacy for safe and stable housing across the UK.
A Leader with Vision
For years, Caroline has been a passionate voice for women and children fleeing domestic abuse. Her leadership has guided Contento Social Homes through powerful, people-focused projects designed to restore dignity, independence, and hope to survivors.
At the heart of this work is the organisation’s groundbreaking initiative — “A Home for Every Woman Survivor” — a national campaign aiming to provide secure, transitional and long-term housing solutions for survivors of domestic violence and their families.
About the Campaign
A Home for Every Woman Survivor is more than a slogan — it’s a promise.
The campaign envisions a seamless journey from refuge to independence, ensuring that no woman has to return to an unsafe environment due to lack of options. Through dispersal housing, independent accommodation, skills training, and policy advocacy, the campaign is helping rewrite the future for countless women and children.
Every element of this campaign is rooted in lived experience. Caroline and her team continue to work closely with survivors to ensure the support provided is not only safe, but also meaningful, empowering and transformative.
A Moment of Recognition
Caroline’s nomination in the Community Advocate category celebrates years of heartfelt, hands-on service to those most at risk. The Ladies First Awards are a prestigious platform that honours women making a difference in business, charity, and social impact across the UK.
This finalist spot serves not only as recognition for Caroline, but as a spotlight for the entire campaign — and a call for greater awareness, involvement, and support.
Join the Movement
As we celebrate this honour, we also extend an invitation to join the campaign’s growing community of supporters. Whether through donations, partnerships, or simply helping raise awareness, everyone has a role to play in building a world where every woman survivor has a safe place to call home.
Together, we can move from crisis to hope, from fear to freedom — and from silence to a united voice for change.
