Get Involved

If you share our passion for supporting victims and survivors to lead a life free from domestic abuse, there are many ways you can get involved and support our cause.

Donations

As a small independent charity, we don’t have the financial security that larger national charities do and therefore monetary donations are always needed, no matter the amount. 

A donation of £5 could pay for toiletries for a woman who has fled her home with only the clothes on her back.

A donation of £15 could pay for nappies and formula for a baby that didn’t ask to be born into a life of violence and abuse.

A donation of £30 could pay for a food parcel for a family that has travelled hundreds of miles to safety.

A donation of £100 could pay for an activity for the families staying in refuge, providing them with a well-deserved break and a chance to rebuild their family bond.

Larger donations could pay for a woman to access therapy for the trauma she has experienced or for a family to set up a new home.

Whatever the donation amount, 100% of your donation will go directly towards supporting the women and children residing at or moving on from our refuge.

Donations can be made using our QR code.

For regular monetary donations, please email info@familyhelp.org.uk or call 01325 364486 for further information.

 

If you prefer not to make a financial donation, there are many different ways you can help:

  • Donate essential cupboard store items such as pasta, cereal and coffee
  • Donate essential consumables such as toilet rolls, bin bags and multi-purpose cleaner
  • Donate essential toiletries such as shampoo, shower gel and deodorant
  • Donate a supermarket voucher, which will allow a family to purchase essential items
  • Donate an item from our Amazon wish lists –
