For many people, Christmas is a time of warmth, family and connection.

For others, it’s the hardest time of the year...

Winter brings longer nights, rising costs and increased isolation. At CWRC, we make sure women are not left to face this alone.

Support when it's needed

Last winter, Leila reached out to CWRC. She had been placed in emergency accommodation with her children after fleeing domestic abuse. Christmas was approaching, she was alone, isolated and overwhelmed by the complex situation she had to navigate. Above all, she wanted her children to have the best Christmas possible given their circumstances.

“I didn’t think anyone would understand, but CWRC did."

Through CWRC’s programmes and one-to-one support, Leila found practical help with clothes and household items, professional advocacy to navigate the homelessness system and companionship and warmth from women who understood. CWRC even managed to find panto tickets for the family.
