Sut bydd yr arian hwn yn cael ei wario

2022 marks Leeds Women’s Aid 50th year. To mark this amazing milestone we are launching a fundraising appeal to raise funds for a new children’s outdoor play area and dedicated tranquil garden space for our residents to rest, recover and connect with others.
Leeds Women’s Aid delivers a wide range of services for families experiencing domestic violence and abuse including emergency refuge accommodation and currently we run a number of women-only refuges along with independent safe houses for adults and children. Our homes are occupied by women and children who are vulnerable, as they have had to leave their homes, families, schools and possessions, and sometimes move many miles in order to be safe, away from harm. They come to us scared and alone, and we offer them sanctuary, support and a new start. Our houses become their homes and we aim to offer them a safe space where well-being, dignity and self-respect are promoted.

Emmeline is our largest refuge and all of its living accommodation is separate and self-contained, but we have communal areas for the families and a large outside space.
This appeal aims to raise funds to refurbish and replace the old playground with new modern play equipment and flooring to create a safe, fun outdoor space for children to play and interact with other families in. The project also aims to fund a dedicated tranquil garden space, complete with wooden pergola, fresh seating area and bedding plants, for women in the refuge to rest and recuperate in. This safe, relaxing outdoor environment will help clients as part of their recovery from the effects of domestic violence and abuse. Residents at the refuge have stressed the importance of a garden to them, with one client valuing the outdoor space as "a place I can connect with my children”. To help us achieve our 50th anniversary goal of raising £50,000 to complete the refurbishment of Emmeline’s garden, we would love to raise £10,000 towards the project through this appeal. Thank you for your support.
