As the world continues to navigate the complexities of recent years, many families still face situations that make home anything but safe.
AberNecessities supports over 130 families each year who are fleeing domestic abuse, often leaving with little more than the clothes on their backs.
Our campaign seeks to honour the brave parents who have survived domestic abuse and are working hard to create a safe and nurturing environment for their children. We aim to raise awareness and funds to provide these families with the resources they need to start fresh.
To support and empower these families, AberNecessities creates ‘Fresh Start’ packs filled with essential items for children, young people, and parents embarking on a new chapter. Each child’s pack includes new clothes, shoes, pyjamas, activities, and a replacement for their favourite toy or comfort item. Parents will receive new clothing, shoes, toiletries, and thoughtful extras like a dressing gown, hairdryer, and small appliances such as kettles or toasters. Additionally, families will benefit from a ‘Home Comforts’ package containing non-perishable foods, fluffy towels, beds and bedding, and essential household items to help them settle into their new home.
We work closely with Grampian Women’s Aid to ensure these care packages reach families in need, providing vital support and resources as they seek refuge and rebuild their lives. Together, we can help turn the page toward a brighter future for those affected by domestic abuse.
