Thank you as always to Michelle Walsh the Community Champion at Tesco Ricoh for the donation of a brand new double bed and mattress which has been donated to a service user who has just left our refuge and is setting up in her own new safe home; so that was perfect timing and very gratefully received. We are very happy to hear this and good luck, we are alwasy heer if you need any support in the future.

St Michaels Church Womens Institute Group
Another thank you to the people of Coventry for their superb support!
The ladies of St Michaels Church have been long term supporters of ours, which we are very grateful for!
I attended a group meeting, began with a prayer then a discussion regarding the work we do and the services and projects that Coventry Haven provide.
It was great to be asked so many questions and to be able to have the opportunity for the ladies to go back to their parish and church groups, freinds and family to raise awareness of the work we do.
Thank you ladies for the cash donation and the toiletries and hope to see you again soon!
TSB Charity Partnership
September is proving to be an amazing week!
We have been awarded the charity of choice for the TSB! A meeting was held on 7th September and the contract for the partnership was signed. It was great to meet the TSB and to see how engaged they are and passionate about the work we do.
Thank you so much for this fabulous opportunity and we look forward to having lots of fun raising money and awareness.
There will be lots more to follow....
