SWFC Women's Supporters Group are supporting Mums In Need as our named charity partner this season, as nominated by our members. This is part of our ongoing commitment to raising awareness and money for local women.

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.
