Will you help families fleeing from domestic abuse this Christmas?

Christmas can be one of the hardest times of the year for families facing domestic abuse. Alcohol-fuelled family gatherings, financial stress and the pressure to have the perfect holiday can all exacerbate the impact of domestic abuse on those who are already at risk. 

With 1 in 4 women in England and Wales facing domestic abuse in their lifetime and an average of 2 women per week killed by a current or former partner, North Devon Against Domestic Abuse (NDADA) is launching a festive fundraising appeal to support those in need.

The appeal will raise money for NDADA’s refuge (the only one of its kind in Devon) and go towards providing food, clothes, toys and other items to ensure women and children fleeing from domestic abuse can enjoy a safe and happy Christmas.

Donate a gift package

Supporters are encouraged to donate in nominations of £5, £10, £15 or £20, which will go towards a range of festive care packages:

Warm Wishes Package: £5 could provide a warm pair of socks or gloves for a woman or child living in the refuge.

Safe Night's Sleep Package: £10 could provide a cosy blanket or bedding to help someone affected by domestic abuse stay warm this winter.

Festive Food Package: £15 could contribute to providing a festive holiday meal to a family living in the refuge.

Christmas Care Package: £20 donation could go towards a care package containing essential items and small comforts, such as toiletries, warm clothing, and a journal for an adult. Or warm clothing, toys and games for a child.

You can of course also give any amount of your choice, just choose the figure you wish to donate.

Each year we are blown away by your generosity and are so grateful for your support. Thank you so much.
