Help make Christmas magical this year

This Christmas, hundreds of children will wake up in our 53 refuges across the country. Some may have just arrived with the clothes on their backs. The mums and our support workers will do all they can to give every child the Christmas they deserve. But they need you.

You can help give the gifts from Santa to fill the stockings, the dinner with all the trimmings so there’s plenty for everyone – you can even help buy a tree with all the sparkles.

When you give to Refuge this Christmas, you’ll make a child’s face light up for the first time in a long time – and lighten the load for a mum when she sees their happy smile.

Help make Christmas magical this year for women and their children affected by domestic abuse.

£5 a month could go towards providing emotional support to a child.
90% of domestic abuse in a family household happens in the presence of a child. Your support could help fund a child support worker to help children overcome the trauma of experiencing domestic abuse.

£10 a month could give a woman her independence back.
Women are often forced to stop working by their abusers, or they have to leave their jobs when they escape. Your regular gift could provide employment and financial advice from our specialist staff, to help give a woman back her independence and support her back into work.

£15 a month could provide essentials for a woman arriving at a refuge.
Every day, women escaping life-threatening situations seek safety in our refuges. Many arrive with little more than the clothes they are wearing. Your gift could go towards providing toiletries, food and clothing to help a woman through her first night.

£10 could buy a teddy bear to give a young child a friend to cuddle at night and keep them company in the day.

£25 could buy a Christmas Dinner so a mum can cook up a feast with all the trimmings for herself and her child to enjoy together on the special day.

£52 could pay for one safe night in a refuge for a woman and her children fleeing an abuser.

£700 could help to keep one of our refuges running for a day – so women and children have the safety and specialist support they need to plan for a brighter year ahead.
