Each year we welcome around 60 women and 100 children from all over the UK into our refuge, helping them to rebuild their lives in a safe, positive way. We want to raise funds for year-round activities and days out that will provide respite and encourage positivity for our clients and children.

Situation
When clients come into refuge, they are fleeing domestic abuse so quite often they come from out of area. Coming into a refuge setting, miles from home, can be unsettling for our clients and their children - they miss their friends and family; the familiarity of home. Rebuilding a life in a new community whilst dealing with the aftermath of fleeing an abusive relationship is an extremely challenging time for our clients - we aim to make this transition as smooth as possible for them.
Solution
As well as the usual support we provide our clients to get them back on their feet, we are hoping to raise funds to enable us to have a diverse activity schedule for our clients and children in 2021. Not only will the planned activities/days out provide respite from a very emotional and stressful situation, this will also allow families to make positive memories together and familiarise themselves with our area to help them to feel more at home.
