The Haven Summer Appeal

The Sun has got its hat on - let the children play and be free from Domestic Violence

The Haven Wolverhampton asks the people and business of Wolverhampton to donate towards their Summer Appeal that will help children make new memories and friends along the way.

Over the Summer months, The Haven will support up to 100 children across its refuge service. In order to keep the children and young people in our care active, engaged and occupied The Haven produces a programme of summer play for all the children to enjoy.  

Play, fun and laughter are always high on the Summer Play Programme agenda with a view to helping to re-build the children’s confidence and making the experience of refuge as enjoyable as possible and make it a Summer to remember for all the right reasons.  Our Children’s and Young People’s Team organise a range of activities such as art and craft workshops, book clubs, cooking competitions, sports days and outings to leisure centres, themes parks and museums.

To be able to implement this programme The Haven needs your help! We appeal for donations of new games and toys, tickets to local attractions and even financial donations which will enable the children to visit and engage in events taking place across the UK.  For example, £10.00 would provide a swim session for 8 children or a game of bowling for 4 children. People may have contacts within various services that could provide concessionary or discounted tickets to attractions.

Hayley Edwards Marketing & PR Office at The Haven says “Every donation that we receive is greatly appreciated.  It is important to us that we give those children who are living in temporary accommodation the chance to relax, laugh, joke and have fun. The support we receive helps to provide a stable and safe environment and works towards helping these children re-build their lives after domestic violence.”
