" It certainly would be helpful to have representatives in other
countries, particularly the United States and Australia. "
We are doing two things to raise funds for
this; engaging with lawyers to support the
project and asking the public for
donations. We have a donate page and if
someone donates £10, we will send them
a link to a copy of a free e-book that they
can then send it to a friend.
My theory is that we all know someone
who is breaking up or separating so I
thought it would be a positive way of
reaching out to parents who might be
stuck and wondering where to go for
support.
M: That’s such a good idea because it
would also be a good resource for
someone thinking about separating, so
they can have the information to hand
before they take the next step.
R: Exactly, and as result of Covid our
enquiries have gone up by 40% and we
both worry that with the lockdown and
Christmas that it’s going to add another
layer of pressure for many families. We all
know somebody in that situation and an
e-book is handy because it can be kept on
their phone which is discrete. For those
mums or dads who may be stuck in an
abusive relationship or even wondering if
they are, it’s important they can access
the book safely.
It does feel good to be able to give copies
away. Our aim is not to just give them
parents who contact us but also to other
small grass-roots organisations working
to support families but that depends on
donations etc.
