We had the privilege of visiting Wear Valley Women’s Aid in Bishop Auckland, a vital refuge for women and children in County Durham escaping domestic and sexual abuse.
We were only too happy to donate toys to the centre, which provides a safe haven for up to eight families at a time.
Often, when these families leave their homes, children are unable to bring any personal belongings. These toys will hopefully offer some comfort, giving them something to call their own during what is an incredibly difficult and uncertain time.
The centre, which has been supporting women and children for nearly 25 years, offers not only shelter but also emotional and practical support through its eight self-contained units. We were inspired by the dedication of the team, and we’re grateful to work alongside believe housing, who’ve supported this centre before and helped us make this meaningful contribution.
Giving back to our community is at the heart of what we do, and we’re happy to know these gifts will be put to good use.
It was great to do this in partnership with believe housing.
