From October 8-15, Woman’s Trust is taking part in the Big Give’s Women & Girls Match Fund – every donation will be MATCHED, meaning your gift goes twice as far.
We are aiming to raise £5,000 from our generous supporters – so we can access match funding to hit our target of £10,000.
Woman’s Trust is the leading mental health charity supporting women and children to rebuild their lives after domestic abuse — offering free, specialist counselling and life-changing support.
Its one-to-one person-centred counselling service provides up to 18 weekly, 50-minute sessions per client with a professional counsellor, trained to understand the specific dynamics and issues associated with domestic abuse.
£25 becomes £50…
£250 becomes £500…
£5,000 becomes £10,000 – funding over 100 one-to-one counselling sessions for women recovering from domestic abuse.
In 2024-5, we supported 833 women across all our services:
89% had reduced stress and anxiety; 94% had improved self-esteem; 70% no longer had suicidal feelings, 71% had not self-harmed recently.
Heidi Riedel, CEO of Woman’s Trust, said: “This year we are looking to raise £5,000 from our generous donors to be able to access the matching pot and double the amount.
“We are so grateful for any donation, big or small, to help us reach our target and support more survivors. It is vital that we respond to survivors’ mental health needs and safeguard them from the psychological damage and trauma, to enable them to recover and rebuild their lives.”
Donations will be generously matched by Big Give’s Champions during the campaign to make double the difference in supporting.
