As the economic downturn and government cuts begin to bite, we increasingly need your support. Without it we are unable to go the extra mile for the women and children who need us.
The Stockport Without Abuse 'Step Ahead Fund' goes directly to women and children affected by domestic violence and abuse. It pays for a whole range of things that we could otherwise not provide.
Here are just some examples of ways the Step Ahead fund is used.

•Emergency food and toiletries for families if they arrive at the refuge with nothing -£5
•Provide half a days childminding costs, so mothers are able to attend appointments(court, counselling ect)
•Games, craft materials and snacks for the playroom £5 - £200
•A children’s Christmas party - £60
•Materials for a woman returning to education £15-£55
