| What we do | Jane’s Place is a recovery refuge, located in Burnley, for women with complex needs and their children. We currently house 15 residents and three children, and many of our residents stay up to 12 months or more, depending on their needs. All suffer from trauma caused by domestic abuse and are recovering from addictions and related health issues. Many arrive at our refuge destitute, having abandoned homes and possessions as they seek safety. Part of our recovery programme involves the promotion of self care and good health - in order to improve wellbeing, and hopefully restore dignity to our residents. We always endeavour to place a welcome pack of toiletries in our accommodations, as some of our residents arrive desperately in need of a bath, having endured time on the streets or fleeing their homes. In addition, we host weekly pamper sessions, providing pampering products for our residents to enjoy. The feedback we receive from these sessions, and the care we provide when women enter the refuge, is positive! As a charity, we are finding it increasingly difficult to supply basic toiletry products to the women and children we help, let alone supply ‘pampering’ products. We are dependent on donations which sadly have decreased dramatically over the past 12 months. Being in recovery, many of our women have ill health and are unable to earn an income that can meet the costs involved with buying their own products. We would love to be part of your scheme, and hopefully receive a regular supply of toiletries and hygiene products for our refuge. Additionally, we would like to roll this benefit out across our many other women’s and men’s refuges in the North West of England, the positive effects of which would be infinite to wellbeing, mental health, and recovery. If you have any questions about our charity, please don’t hesitate to call myself, or my Manager, Samantha Johnson, tel: 01282 526267. We look forward to hearing from you, Best regards and thanks, Carol Harris Refuge Housing Assistant, Jane’s Place – Recovery Refuge |
