Philanthropy

Change Begins Here. Together; we will end violence against women and girls. 

Your generosity can help women and children break free from abuse, rebuild their lives, and thrive.

Every year, Solace supports thousands of women and children escaping domestic abuse and sexual violence. Our services provide safe refuge, expert advice, and a pathway to lasting independence. 

But demand is growing — and without investment, too many will be left without support. 

Major donors and philanthropic partners play a transformative role: your commitment enables us to expand life-saving services, pilot new approaches, and advocate for lasting systemic change. 

Why partner with Solace?

  • Immediate Impact: Your gift funds emergency refuge, counselling, and legal advocacy for women and children fleeing abuse. 
  • Long-Term Change: Invest in prevention and recovery programmes that break cycles of violence and strengthen communities. 
  • Proven Expertise: With over 50 years’ experience, Solace is a trusted leader in tackling gender-based violence across London. 

Our Funding Priorities

Your support can be tailored to the areas where impact is most urgent: 

  • Advice Line: A vital lifeline for women in crisis, offering expert guidance and support. 
  • Unrestricted Funding: Empower Solace to respond flexibly to urgent needs and emerging challenges. 
  • Immigration Service: Specialist support for women with insecure immigration status, often facing the greatest barriers to safety. 
  • Step-Down Support: Helping survivors move from refuge into independent living with stability and confidence. 
  • Children & Young People’s Services Expansion: Reaching more children affected by abuse with specialist therapy, mentoring, and resilience-building programmes. 

We can work with you to shape your giving around the areas of impact you care about most.
