This Christmas, support women and children to feel safe and secure in refuge whilst they recover from the trauma of abuse. Our project aims to make our spaces feel a little more like home by equipping them with essentials such as new bedding and crockery.

Situation
Women and children often come to refuge in the middle of the night with nothing more than the clothes on their backs. Whilst women have fled abusive partners, they have left the space they call home and the surroundings that are familiar to them. As such, it is vital our spaces are as clean, welcoming and homely as possible – this can make or break the difference between a woman staying and accessing the support she needs to move forwards to a happy future, or returning to her abuser.
Solution
Christmas can be a particularly difficult time for women and children subjected to domestic abuse, so it is vital they feel at home in our refuges. Your donations will enable us to purchase essential household items such as new bedding and crockery so women and children feel cared for and comfortable over the festive period and into 2021. This in turn will empower women to stay where they are safe and access the crucial wrap around support needed to move towards a fulfilling and bright future.
