Saffron is a unique, life-saving and life-changing service in Sheffield.

We know that survivors of abuse and trauma can experience mental health issues such as PTSD and are at a greater risk of developing drug and alcohol addictions, eating disorders, and engaging in self-harm to try to manage and regulate emotional pain.

We have offered free, long-term specialised trauma therapy in a safe and dedicated space for over 30 years. Our clients are Sheffield’s most vulnerable women, many of whom have experienced multiple, complex traumas.

As someone who has benefitted from therapy throughout my life, as a result of childhood trauma, I understand how the service that Saffron offers to women can be life changing and is a fundamental part of their recovery and growth. I want to help raise much needed funds for this essential support for vulnerable women through the challenge I am about to undertake.
