Story

This Christmas, countless women and children will not experience the joy of celebrating in the comfort of their homes. Instead, they are seeking refuge from a life filled with fear and uncertainty. At SIG Penrose’s Women’s Refuge Service in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we provide safe accommodation for these courageous individuals who are escaping domestic abuse. In our unique nurturing space, they can begin the healing process and take the first steps towards rebuilding their futures.

However, this holiday season, we need your kindness to help brighten their lives with extra support, joy, and warmth during this difficult time.

What Your Donation Can Do:

Your generous support can uplift single women, mothers, and their children during Christmas and throughout the winter months. With your compassionate donations, we can provide:

Thoughtful presents for women and children, making this Christmas Day a day of happiness and love.

Engaging social activities and family outings to create cherished memories and strengthen family bonds.

Delightful festive treats for the women and children to enjoy throughout the festive season, allowing them to experience the joy of togetherness.

How Your Donation Makes a Difference:

Every donation, no matter how small, plays a crucial role in helping women and children recover from their trauma by creating joyful moments during Christmas and offering ongoing support in the months ahead.

£10 could provide extra food and treats bringing smiles to their faces.

£25 could supply creative materials for children’s play therapy, allowing them to express themselves.

£50 could fund a special gift for the women and her children to share on Christmas day, fostering connection and joy.

£100 could cover family outings during winter, empowering them to explore new environments and build their confidence while nurturing emotional security.

For women and children taking the brave step to start anew, your compassion and generosity through a donation can be the most meaningful gift of all.

Please join us in supporting the women and children at SIG Penrose Women’s Refuge Service. We are deeply thankful for your kindness, and we wish you a joyful and peaceful Christmas.

The support given has helped me gain the confidence I need to be more independent, find a safe place and get back on track.
