We’re asking for an early Christmas present…
We’ve applied for funding with The Big Give with our ‘My Choice My Life My Christmas’ challenge campaign.
Each year we support around 1500 women to escape domestic abuse in South Liverpool.
Christmas creates a crisis point with increased alcohol use, financial stress, time at home and isolation from support. Reduced access to support networks and more time at home with an abuser creates a Christmas of fear and dread – not joy and peace.
Typically calls to helplines increase by 15% and we can see a surge in demand on our local services of up to 50%.
If we raise £1,250, we can possibly get it matched up to four times!
By providing women and girls with additional drop-in sessions in the run up to the holidays we can offer specific signposting to resources, gifts for their children, local pre-season meet ups and an emergency escape plan.
- Additional pre-Christmas drop-in support sessions
- Creation of 100 emergency escape packs
- Christmas survival toolkits/signposting booklets for clients
- Emergency supermarket and foodbank vouchers
- Gifts for their children
By becoming a Pledger you are committing to provide match funds. These funds will be used to double donations made to us during the campaign.
Please consider making a pledge of whatever amount you can afford before the pledge deadline at 5.00pm on 28/08/2026.
No monies will need to be paid until our campaign has been approved and completed on 8th December 2026.
