Every year, My Sisters Place supports more than 5,500 individuals and their children to live free from violence and abuse. Through our free, accessible services, we provide safety, advocacy, education, and the chance to rebuild lives with dignity, justice, and hope. This work not only saves lives today but also shapes safer, healthier futures for the children who experience violence in their homes.
It costs £28,654 a week to run our service and we rely on donations and sponsorship.
We can’t thank our supporters enough for what they do. There are lots of ways you can get involved in supporting My Sisters Place, whether you’re a local business, individual, school or community group, find out how you can show your support below.
