Urgent Funding Appeal!

Unfortunately funding for our support service has been affected by local authority budget cuts.  We believe that this support service is much needed, particularly in relation to supporting women whose children have been sexually abused.

We are pursuing alternative sources of funding and are also launching an appeal based on individual giving. Our appeal is based on securing 5000 donations of £20, although donations of any size are welcome.

Update, 26th February 2010

We are happy to announce that the appeal has raised over
£11,500 in less than one month.  It is also great to hear
how many people are planning sponsored 10k runs, marathons or
other events - including a walk up Ben Nevis! 

Thanks to all!
