We are raising funds to support anyone over the age of 5 who has been affected by sexual assault and domestic abuse across Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes. We offer life changing counselling, advocacy and group work to support them to cope, build resilience and move forward with their lives.

Impact areas
1 in 3 women and girls will be affected by sexual assault or domestic abuse in their lifetime and the survivors we support report impacts to their mental health (including anxiety and depression), physical health (including unwanted pregnancies and STIs) and socioeconomic wellbeing (including difficulties engaging with school/work or issues with their relationships). Increasingly, women and girls are being harmed online which is causing them to feel unsafe and isolated.
By offering specialist, trauma-informed and women-led support, we offer survivors a warm and supportive space to process their experiences through long-term counselling, advocacy and/or group work to their choosing. Our holistic approach provides survivors with the space and tools they need to develop positive coping strategies and emotional regulation skills as well as increasing their feelings of confidence, trust and safety.
