My Sisters Place in £25k donation drive

Published March 09, 2022 By


Double your donation to My Sisters Place in the Big Give's Women and Girls Match Fund 2022

My Sisters Place are taking part in the Women and Girls Match Fund 2022 to raise £25,000 in just one week! These funds will be used for domestic abuse trauma therapy for mothers and daughters.

We will provide a therapist who will work exclusively with mothers and daughters repairing fractured relationships caused by abuse.

This will be an innovative project in which we will monitor and evaluate the work with a view to disseminating this approach and the learning across the VAWG sector.

Donations to My Sisters Place will be generously matched by DCMS' Tampon Tax Fund during the campaign meaning your money can support twice as many survivors of abuse to recover and lead the lives they should.

CEO Lesley Storey said: "This year is our most ambitious fundraising challenge yet we're looking to raise a total of £25,000 in order to access the £25,000 we have in the matching pot.

"We know this is a mammoth task but the need in our communities is deeper than ever due to the pandemic and a sharp rise in referrals over the last year.

"It's 20 years this year since My Sisters Place was established and we are more needed than ever.

"Domestic abuse is rising, families are suffering extreme hardship and promoting recovery is a key aim of this project.

"We hope everyone will give generously this year to help us achieve our target and enable us to carry on the work we all feel so passionately about."
