Haven Appeals

We help over 500 children and young people each year, supporting them and their wider family for periods of many weeks and months. We rely on the generosity of people like you to provide the extras that help us to make a difference to the lives of the children and young people that we work with.

This means that we often need to send out appeals for specific products or additional funds to carry out extra activities.

All our work is underpinned by a trauma informed approach.
About domestic abuse

Domestic abuse affects people of all ages, races, religions and socio-economic groups. It can often be hard to recognise, harder to live with and sometimes even harder to move past. This page explains about the different types of domestic abuse, how to recognise it and the effects it can have.

History of Haven

Haven House charity was established in 1975 as a refuge for women and children affected by domestic abuse. We have developed over the years and now provide a range of services for children and young people, and their wider family, in Sheffield and the surrounding area. We also provide services to professionals, helping them to support the children and young people that they work with. Read more
