In preparation for the upcoming Coventry Women in Business Summit beginning 19th April through to 21st April, we have decided to donate to two charities which directly benefit women and children.

We have decided to split the funds between the two charities: Refuge and The Family Fund.

Both of which are two charities very dear to our hearts.

Refuge is a United Kingdom charity providing specialist support for women and children experiencing domestic violence. Refuge runs a range of specialist services to help survivors access safety and rebuild their lives. They understand each person’s circumstances and needs are different and that survivors need different services at different times. Their expert staff work closely, and confidentially, with every individual to develop a bespoke support plan. If a woman is not sure what service she wants or needs, Refuge will support her to explore her options.

Family Fund is the UK’s largest charity providing grants for families raising disabled or seriously ill children and young people. Last year, they provided 92,585 grants or services worth over £32 million to families across the UK. Their purpose is to improve the lives of low-income families raising disabled or seriously ill children and young people.Their mission is to provide items and services to all low-income families in the UK raising disabled or seriously ill children, that they could not otherwise afford or access, and that help improve their quality of life, realise their rights, and remove some of the barriers they face.Their vision is that all families raising disabled or seriously ill children have the same choices, quality of life, opportunities and aspirations as other families.

Please help us to help others realise their full potential and reach for the stars.

Thank you for any donation, big or small, every little helps.

All the best,

Coventry Women in Business
