By selecting Mums In Need as this years charity partner, we are demonstrating our commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of mothers affected by coercive control. Over the next year, we plan to raise funds for this wonderful charity by means of sponsored events / walks, collection tubs located front of house, sell MIN merchandise and also through the sale of handmade crafts.

Mums In Need is a unique support service for mothers suffering ongoing coercive control after separation from an abusive relationship.

Coercive control is an umbrella term describing a pattern of abuse which can include physical abuse, manipulation, intimidation and threatening behaviour used to terrorise the victim.

Many organisations help support escape from domestic abuse, but escape is not the end of the story. An escalation in relentless emotional and psychological abuse is common after separation and is often sustained through shared care with children.

We are to support these mums. We provide each mum with a package of support.

Our mums are appointed a dedicated Caseworker who keep in regular contact and will give them access to practical support such as legal support, 1:1 counselling, wellbeing and therapeutic sessions, and peer sessions.

Your donations will really make a difference to the lives of the families that we support. Thank you.
