How we're funded

We get funding from a wide range of sources including charitable trusts, central and local
government agencies, and individuals. Much of this funding is in the form of one-off grants for
specific projects.

In 2017 donations and grants allowed us to:

Answer 1500 phone calls from women in distress affected by abuse and trauma
Train 20 specialist volunteers in high intensity supportive listening skills
Offer 2500 hours of direct support to women at immediate risk of serious self-injury and suicide
And even more

We are always trying to secure longer-term funding and welcome support from both organisations and individuals. This will help us to continue our work, expand
our services and respond effectively to the increasing need for crisis support in the community.

We are very grateful to all of the funders who support our work including:
