The center said it supported 296 women, 88 men and 231 children in the last financial year and felt “there is a huge gap between rural and urban domestic abuse”.
Hayley said covering an area like North Powys – 839sq miles (2,173sq km) and can take four hours to travel from one end to the other – came with extra costs, such as fuel.
The charity lost around £102,000 in funding, which Hayley said was “catastrophic”.
“That was to maintain our children and youth project, who do a lot of work in the schools,” she said.
Tracy said school was her “saviour” as a child.
“If we can explain to kids what abuse is and what it looks like, that would be a really good place to start,” she added.
The UK government said it was “working to address disparities in provision” and pledged more than £1bn over the next three years to improve support for rural victims.
“Working closely with charities and community organizations helps us better understand the barriers rural communities face,” it said in a statement.
“No victim of domestic abuse should be denied support because of where they live.”
More than three-quarters of Wales is rural, and the Welsh Government said it “recognized victims and survivors in rural communities may face more barriers to getting help”.
“These challenges will be considered in our next national strategy to ensure services are able to meet the needs of people in all parts of Wales,” it said.
“No one should ever be made to feel unsafe, afraid or at risk of abuse in their homes and communities.”
