Thanks to donors like you, we swiftly provided essential furniture and household items, transforming their space into a safe and comforting home. ✨ How You Can Help: • Donate: Your support changes lives. https://lnkd.in/eckRgMZy • Share: Spread awareness. • Volunteer: Join us in making a difference.

This Christmas, we’re reaching out to professionals, local businesses, and community leaders to join us in making a life-changing impact. Our Christmas Campaign is dedicated to raising funds for a vital wellbeing programme for women and children who have fled domestic abuse. Trauma from abuse doesn’t just affect one person — it ripples through families, deeply impacting both mothers and their children. A mother’s mental health and wellbeing play a critical role in her child’s recovery and sense of security. By supporting our wellbeing programme, you’re not just helping women heal from the scars of abuse — you’re also giving their children a chance to thrive, grow, and experience the love and stability every child deserves. We can’t do this without you. Here’s how you can help: ✅ Donate: Every contribution brings us closer to funding this essential programme. ✅ Spread the Word: Share our campaign in your workplace or community. ✅ Host a Fundraiser: Partner with us to create even greater impact. Your support could be the gift that transforms lives this Christmas. 📩 Message us or visit https://lnkd.in/ewqjpUuu to learn more and get involved. Together, let’s give the gift of healing and hope. ❤️
