We’re so close — just £300 to unlock every pound of matched funding

By Nabiira, Psychosocial and Shelter Manager

Every day, our team receives calls about girls who need urgent protection.

Some are escaping violence at home. Some have been trafficked or abused.

All of them need a safe place to rest, recover and begin to heal.

Most days, more girls are referred than we have beds for. We sometimes lay out mats on the floor because sending a child back into danger is unthinkable. When even the floor is full, we face heart-breaking decisions about who we can take in.

We don’t have enough beds. Our team gives everything they can – but the calls keep coming. And we always have girls who need us.

Why this week matters

Through the Big Give Women & Girls Fund, every donation you give before midday Wednesday 15 October will be doubled. Right now, we’re 94% of the way to our goal – just £300 short of unlocking every pound of the Big Give’s matched funding.

To everyone who has already given – thank you. It’s wonderful to know that you stand with our team and believe in this life-saving work.

Please help us cross the line

We’re almost there. Your donation today will be matched pound for pound and will help ensure no girl is turned away.
