Congratulations to The Lionesses!

We'd like to congratulate the Lionesses on their incredible win yesterday! 🦁🦁🦁

It’s powerful to see the country come together to celebrate the strength, resilience and teamwork of women on the national stage. Yes it is absolutely, her game too.

At Coventry Haven Women's Aid, we witness that same strength every day, not in stadiums, but in our refuges, courtrooms, and quiet acts of rebuilding.

The women and girls we support may not be in the spotlight, but their courage is no less extraordinary.

This national show of support reminds us what’s possible when women are backed, believed in, and given the space to thrive. Can we carry that energy beyond the pitch, into our workplaces, our communities, and our systems?

If you or someone you know needs support, or if your organisation is interested in our Domestic Abuse Champions Project, please call 02476 444077.

Here’s to creating a world where every woman feels safe, supported, and empowered, wherever she’s starting from.

🌟💜 What if £5 could change a life – would you give it? 💜🌟

We all spend £5 a month without thinking – maybe on a forgotten streaming subscription, a half-eaten meal deal, or that app you downloaded but never used…

But what if that £5 could change a life instead.....? 💜

For the cost of something you won’t even remember, a regular £5 donation to #CoventryHavenWomensAid could provide:

🔹 An emergency food parcel to make a meal for a woman fleeing abuse with nothing but the clothes on her back

🔹 A baby emergency essentials pack with nappies, formula, and wipes for a mother starting over

🔹 Essential emergency toiletries like deodorant, sanitary products, and toothpaste for a survivor who had to leave everything behind

🚨One small monthly commitment = a huge impact for a woman in crisis 🚨

You will be part of the solution!

💜 Could you spare £5 a month to make a difference? Please sign up now:
