What our donation will help fund

We provide holistic-informed support in responsive, women’s only spaces where their unique strengths, needs and challenges are acknowledged. My Sisters' House supports women in the community struggling against social and economic disadvantage, acting as consistent advocates, often at the hardest point of someone's life.

My Sisters' House has a dedicated domestic abuse team supporting women with complex needs, including two Eastern European Complex Needs Workers, whose focus is to support this local community.

We offer the support of specialist staff with knowledge and experience in the fields in which they provide assistance; domestic abuse, employment support and training, emotional support, benefits & financial advice and advocacy and housing advice. By providing one-to-one key working, drop-in support, peer support groups, counselling, courses and online support.

I finally left my abusive relationship, thanks to the support of My Sisters' House. You have supported me in many ways - from emotionally helping me recover, to helping me sort out my finances, and get out of debt. You have always been there whenever I just needed to chat.
