On Day 2 of #16Days we are looking at our #SafeToTalk Helpline service.

Our Helpline is available via freephone 08001114998 and is attended by fully trained support workers:

Saturday - Sunday: 10am - 1pm

We can also be contacted on 02476444077 Monday - Friday.

The helpline team are able to provide support, advice and information to everyone, not only victims of abuse; this includes professionals, children, people who may have concerns for their friends, neighbour, family or work colleagues, and people who feel their behaviour may be abusive and would like to receive help around that. We will offer support and advice to everyone.

You are also able to contact us via email on: referrals@coventryhaven.co.uk with details of when and how it is safe for us to contact you. (NB: this mailbox is only checked during the above working hours).

Day 1 of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence

During the #16DaysOfActivism, we'll be talking about the specialist services we provide to victims of abuse, and today on day 1, we are looking at our crucial refuge provision.

We have 18 units providing accommodation within safe houses in the city. These houses provide refuge to women and children who are not safe in their own homes, and their location is secret.

Of the 18 units 2 of the units offer fully disabled access and 1 unit offers emergency incident related accommodation to women and their children.

The offer that makes our refuge service, truly 'refuge' is the bespoke support you receive from our fully trained refuge team, who will be there to support you with the things you need. You will be assigned a specialist support worker who will help you to settle in, and provide some clothes, food and toiletries if you need them to help you to settle in more comfortably.

Your worker will also help you with your longer term needs. She can support you with options around housing, schooling, safety and risk planning, benefit entitlements, health issues, parenting, immigration, education, employment and rebuilding your resilience and independence, to give you the tools you need to live a life free from fear.

Call our #SafeToTalk #Helpline 08001114998 - open 7 days a week or email info@coventryhaven.co.uk

Christmas Campaign 2022

*Christmas Campaign* 🎄☃️❄️🍸🌠🎁💜

It's rapidly heading towards 'that' time of year again and we're launching our Christmas Campaign for all of our hugely generous supporters, existing and new!

We cannot express just how useful gift vouchers are for the women and children we support, both in refuge and in the community; they provide whatever they need from gifts to Christmas food, and emergency items for women arriving in refuge with nothing more than the clothes they're in.

As many of you know, we have zero storage so gift vouchers are incredibly helpful in the respect too.

As the quote from one of our resident's shows on the banner, the ability for mum's to be able to use the gift vouchers to buy their own presents for their children, means the world to them, and is very often the first time they've been able to do so.

Thank you in advance for your support and generosity!
