For everyone affected by domestic abuse struggling this Christmas
Supporting survivors this Christmas
Christmas should be a wonderful time spent with friends and loved ones, but we know that isn’t possible for everyone for a variety of reasons. The emotional and finance pressures are a real struggle at Christmas, add to this the current cost of living crisis and you can see that there will be many women struggling with impossible choices over the festive period.
We want to make sure this isn’t the case for the adults and children we work with and that is where your support comes in.
We could not deliver our Christmas appeal without supporters just like you. We passionately believe every family deserves a safe and magical Christmas.

Donate money
Monetary donations are the fastest way to get the most appropriate support to those that need it most quickly.
Gift cards
We support survivors all year round and quite often they arrive with us with the clothes they are wearing and very little else. Gift cards of £5 or £10 can be given to the families to shop for essentials.
Fundraise for us
You can collect monetary donations or challenge yourself to sit in a bath of beans for 24 hours, whatever works for you! Check out our page on Just Giving to help you with getting donations.
