We are bringing the music community together to help support women and children affected by domestic abuse during the COVID-19 lockdown.

For thousands of women and children, staying at home brings an increased threat of domestic abuse. Help keep our life-saving services running so women can access vital support, and somewhere safe to escape. #youarenotalone

£5 a month could provide vital supplies for women in our refuges.
Often women and children arriving at our refuges arrive with little more than the clothes they are wearing. Help us buy cleaning products such as soap, bleach, anti-bacterial wipes and hand-sanitiser, so women and children can help prevent the spread of infection. 

£10 a month could help a child cope with isolation.
Children in our refuges urgently need toys, books and games. Many arrive with us vulnerable and confused, having left cherished possessions behind. With isolation measures in place, providing activities and craft supplies could bring happiness to a child staying in a refuge. 

£15 a month could go towards equipment to allow our staff to work remotely. 
Remote working of our staff enables us to continue supporting the women and children accessing our services during this challenging time. Specific equipment is required to ensure client cases are kept confidential when staff are homeworking.
