Situation
Children and mothers find saftey in Hestia’s domestic abuse refuges, though their recovery journeys are just beginning. The festive period can be an especially difficult time, triggering painful memories and feelings of guilt for mothers struggling to afford food and gifts. Your support helps to overcome this. Together, we create a festive environment that encourages children to have fun, celebrate as a family and start to rebuild their lives.
Solution
From a warm welcome and a toy when they arrive to the refuge, to homework clubs and 1-2-1 sessions, our children and family work programme is designed to help children heal from their trauma. With your support we will bring joy and hope back to children’s lives, helping them on their journey to ultimately be ready to leave the refuge emotionally stronger and more resilient.
