Charity number: 294555 (England & Wales)

2 women are killed each week as a result of domestic abuse. Around 750,000 children in the UK witness domestic abuse each year. Hestia supports over 200 homeless children each year who flee domestic abuse with their mothers to live in our emergency refuges. It can leave children in particular confused, lonely and angry. We help families to get back on their feet and build a better life after the trauma they have experienced. Without support, they are in grave danger of long-term damage, including mental health problems or developmental problems, including lower educational achievement in older children and delays in speech in younger children.

Charity number: 278336 (England and Wales)

As children, most of us take for granted the chance to get out and about, exploring, climbing trees, visiting the park and hanging out with friends. For our children, and grandchildren, we expect nothing less, but for many with a special need, it just isn’t possible. If you have a physical disability, the difficulties are obvious, but, if you have a learning disability or autism, it can be hard to relate to other people and join their games.
