Impact Report 2023/2024
Our new Impact Report is out now. It summarises our achievements over the first 12 months of our five-year strategy, during which we began housing families for the first time. It also contains numbers and stats, and stories from some of the amazing women we work with.
If you prefer a summary, here are our bitesize highlights from the year September 2023 to August 2024:
We opened a new safe house.
We started to house mums with children for the first time, and also expanded our direct support for children and young people.
It was an honour to win the Rebuilding Lives category at the Anti-Slavery Day Awards run by the Human Trafficking Foundation.
Unlocking freedom among women like Katy
Katy is one of the survivors whose story features in this Impact Report. She fled from her violent husband, with her young daughter and baby son.
“Ella’s have helped me with practical things - my husband didn’t let me do or learn anything, so even simple things I need help learning. Plus things like getting child benefit, which I didn’t have before, and working on immigration problems.
I found a team and support from other people, new people in my life. I feel like I can throw my past...behind me, and start fresh...I used to feel weak, but now I am convinced that I am strong.”
Every donation, every act of support helps unlock freedom among survivors like Katy and families like hers.
Thank you so much for being part of our community. We hope our new Impact Report inspires and encourages you today.
