Charity of the Month
The Angels Foundation UK provide immediate assistance to families who have fled domesticabuse. You would think that the challenges facing families would end once they leave their abuser, but unfortunately, they don’t.
Did you know?
- 98% of social housing allocated to survivors of domestic abuse have no flooring, no
white goods, no furniture
- 95% of domestic abuse survivors have experienced financial abuse, with no funds to
provide basic household items
- 50% of domestic abuse survivors don’t have enough money for essentials for their
children
Social activities for emotional well-being and peer support, such as the monthly Angel Walk and Talks, coffee mornings and weekly support groups.
Provide ‘listening ear’ mental health support, counselling and group therapy.
Our ‘Back to Life Support Project’ ensures families who have fled abuse do not live in furniture poverty.
Families who have fled domestic abuse often leave little or no items. These items could help a family settle into their accommodation where they are safe at last.
Without the things they need, they may be forced to return to their perpetrator out of desperation. We are very grateful for your support and donations can be made here:

His subjects and characters are clearly defined, and his songs create strong images and stories which can make us both laugh and cry in the same breath. This man is unique and unforgettable. The songs are brilliant. Go see him! www.gerrycolvin.co.uk |
