How you can support BCWA

Your support and fundraising can help victims of abuse to rebuild their lives. Right now there are hundreds of victims of violence across the West Midlands living in fear. You can help us reach them with the essential help and support they need.

You can help us listen, help us support, and help us care for victims of abuse and exploitation.

Other ways you can help

You can also donate goods to help the families that come to our refuges. They have often had to leave their whole lives behind when they flee abuse at home. Help us make them welcome and comfortable by donating essential items for the first few days:

Create a welcome food pack for a family in refuge

Practical food such as cereal, tea bags, sugar, long-life milk, pasta, rice, tins of veg, meat and lentils can make sure a family get a comforting meal when they arrive in refuge at any time of day or night.

Make a welcome pack for a victim of trafficking

The victims of trafficking we support have often been held in terrible conditions. The first thing they want when they come to us is a shower and clean clothes. You can help them to start washing the past away by donating a welcome pack of shower gel, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, face cloth, and pyjamas.

Help welcome a new baby or help a child settle in to refuge

Why not create a welcome pack for a new baby with wipes, nappies, baby toiletries and a babygro. Or you could make a welcome pack for a child arriving to refuge with a colouring book, pencils, a toy, and fun kid’s toiletries like bubble bath.
