We are a group of support workers from Coventry Haven Women's Aid who are very passionate about the work we do for those who are or have experienced Domestic Abuse. As with a New Year comes new challenges and this is something we wanted to do as a group of women to personally challenge ourselves but also to raise funds to support the services we provide. It would be great to raise enough funds to be able to provide useful items such as £5 - Out of hours emergency transport to take a woman and her children to safety £10 - Emergency food pack on arrival to safe accommodation £20 - Emotional support session at the Listening post £50 - Emergency accommodation for one night £50 - 'Making Memories' pack for mum to take her children out to the cinema, for a meal or a sporting event £75 - Mum's moving on starter pack for when leaving refuge £75 - Children's 'New beginnings' pack on leaving refuge £100 - 4 Counselling sessions
Fundraising pageWe began in the early seventies as a women’s group and have grown to become a small, community-based, grass roots, registered charity which is run by women for women. Our aim is to help women and their children who have been or are being subjected to, domestic abuse in any form to free themselves from the situation they are in. We do this by providing safe housing and a range of support services, before during and after leaving their abusive partner/family member. We will assist you through your whole journey. We support all women irrespective of whether they want to leave the relationship or not, older women, younger women, historic or current abuse; any woman. We will assist you with any other issues you may be experiencing along side your abuse, for example surrounding: immigration, discrimination, disability, LGBT, housing, debt management, alcohol and drug abuse, multiple needs, or no recourse to public funds (NRPF). These services are run by staff and volunteers and are free of charge.
