Regular, monthly giving is the easiest way to help ensure we are able to effectively help women in Sheffield who are in need of therapy due to trauma or abuse. 

Therapy takes time. Regular donations help us to plan ahead and ensure all of our clients can be given the length of treatment they need in order to move on successfully with their lives.

It costs us approximately £25 to provide 1 hour of free 1:1 therapy. We would ask that you consider giving this amount each month, however, you can choose the amount and giving frequency you prefer by clicking the link below.

It is estimated that in Sheffield there are over 34,000 women survivors of abuse. Trauma and abuse can take many forms and can happen to women of all ages, backgrounds and ethnicities.

If left unaddressed, the effects of abuse and trauma can be lifelong and devastating.

We know that survivors of abuse and trauma can experience mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, borderline personality disorder and dissociative personality disorder.

Survivors are also at a greater risk of developing drug and alcohol addictions, eating disorders, and engaging in self-harm to try to manage and regulate emotional pain.

We work with women who are experiencing trauma due to:

Childhood sexual abuse or exploitation

Adult sexual abuse and adult sexual exploitation

Domestic abuse and domestic violence in childhood or adulthood

Neglect

Torture and trafficking

Being a witness or victim of a crime or an accident

“County lines” or the exploitation of children and vulnerable people to aid illegal drugs distribution
