Arriving at refuge can be daunting and traumatic. Many women will have left home with only a few basic items, others will arrive with nothing at all. To help women settle in when they arrive FCWA always gives them an essentials welcome pack, with a few basics for their stay and a small gift for their children.
FCWA has created a simple list, so you know what items you can donate and those which cannot be accepted. Simply check the list and complete the form below.
