We are passionate about raising awareness of the impact domestic abuse has on the fabric of our families and society. We are dedicated to raising awareness of the importance Stonham’s Recovery Programmes play in the healing of ourselves and our children and ensuring all women who want to attend these programmes can do so. We meet on a monthly basis. We meet to organise fundraising events- from car boots to concerts-in order to fund our strategies and programmes. We meet to laugh, love and heal. Currently our membership stands at 26. All of us have been seriously abused by someone we love or once loved. Some of us have been married for 30 years to the same partner, others have had a series of short term abusive relationships. Some of us have been out of the abusive relationship for a long time and came to the Recovery Programmes still suffering from the relationship’s emotional and physical legacies. We come from all backgrounds. Some of us are elderly, some in our early 20s. Some of us have lucrative professional careers, others are struggling to make ends meet. Some of us have University degrees others have no formal qualifications. We celebrate our differences and unite in our similarities. Please donate as you can: together we can break the immediate and generational cycle of abuse - £1 at a time, 1 life at a time |
