"MIN were there when I needed them the most. As a charity they helped me integrate back into society as well as giving me the much needed confidence I so badly needed, helping me rebuild my life. They listened, which was really all I wanted at the time. After years of suffering in silence MIN let me get it all out. I will forever be grateful for their understanding and patience.
A powerful message from Josephine, one of the many mothers we've empowered to rebuild their lives after leaving an abuse abusive relationship.

Post separation abuse is a hidden and insidious form of domestic violence that often leaves survivors isolated and without support.
This devastating pattern of control and coercion can continue long after a relationship ends, with mums particularly vulnerable to escalating abuse tactics such as harassment, stalking, intimidation, financial abuse, emotional manipulation, and threats of violence against them or their children.
Mums In Need is a unique charity that supports local mums in Sheffield and the surrounding areas who have left abusive relationships. Our services include 1:1 caseworker support, legal advice, counselling, wellbeing sessions, and peer support.
We provide life changing support that empowers mums to build brighter futures for themselves and their children.
Like many other support services, Mums In Need is facing a critical lack of funding. We are determined to become a national charity to support more women beyond our local area, but to do so, we urgently need to raise £30,000. This will allow us to expand our reach and continue helping the women who need us most. Your support is vital in making this a reality.

In real terms, your contribution will enable us to support 15 more families who are grappling with the devastating impacts of post-separation abuse by providing:
✨ Personalised one-to-one casework offering ongoing emotional support and guidance
✨ Specialised counselling, trauma therapy, and peer support to help heal and rebuild
✨ Expert legal assistance to navigate the complexities of family court proceedings
✨ Fun family sessions that create lasting memories and foster bonding
Additionally, your support will help us take the first steps toward expanding our services to families outside of our current criteria, including providing support and advice through an email system.
Your support is a beacon of hope, breaking the cycle of abuse for women in need. By donating or fundraising for Mums In Need, you enable us to continue offering vital services to those who need them most. Together, we can extend our reach, providing crucial support to women across the UK, and empowering them to rebuild their lives.
