Our Aim

We provide immediate assistance to families who have fled domestic abuse. You would think that the challenges facing families would end once they leave their abuser, but unfortunately, they don’t. 

Did you know?

• 98% of social housing allocated to survivors of domestic abuse have no flooring, no white goods, no furniture

• 95% of domestic abuse survivors have experienced financial abuse, with no funds to provide basic household items

• 50% of domestic abuse survivors don’t have enough money for essentials for their children 

The support we provide is as follows:

• Signposting individuals in need of support to qualified professionals specialising in domestic abuse.
• Our 'Back to Life Support Project' helps families who have fled domestic abuse in their hour of need by sourcing items for their home, such as white goods, flooring and furniture.
• Social activities for emotional well-being and peer support, such as the monthly Angel Walk and Talks, coffee mornings and weekly support groups.
• Provide 'listening ear' mental health support, counselling and group therapy.

Our 'Back to Life Support Project' ensures families who have fled abuse do not live in furniture poverty. 

We provide the very basics, as recommended by https://endfurniturepoverty.org

• Sofa
• Beds inc mattresses
• Washing Machine
• Fridge/Freezer
• Cooker
• Carpet/Flooring
• Chest of Drawers
• Table/Chairs 

(We only accept referrals from statutory organisations and other specialist DA agencies)

Our aim is to bring hope, helping families as they rebuild their lives independently, free of abuse, by enabling them to set up a comfortable and safe home to start again from.  

Not having the basic items they need to look after and take care of their family, is a significant contributor to why families feel they have no other choice, but to return to an abusive perpetrator.

Integral to the support we give families affected by domestic abuse, is that they understand their community haven’t forgotten about them, that they aren’t alone, and that people care about them.
