Support Pause to…
- reach more women
- amplify women’s voices on the issues that matter most to them
- influence the system so families never experience the removal of a child into care more than once
Whether you would like to give a gift personally or donate through a trust or foundation, our team can help you make a real difference to women throughout England, who have had multiple children removed from their care.
Your donation will make a real difference to Pause and the women we work with:
£500 | could cover an online meeting and activity with our Advisory Group, bringing women across the country together to influence Pause’s decision-making |
£1,500 | could enable Pause to create one co-produced episode of our Pause and Listen podcast, with women with experience of the Pause Programme |
£3,000 | could contribute to a creative project to amplify women’s voices |
£5,000 | could help Pause towards the cost of publishing a report with policy recommendations on an issue that women have told us is important to them |
£8,000 | could enable Pause to provide a group of women with experience of the Pause Programme with campaign training, to help lead Pause’s influencing work |
£10,000 | could support Pause to train an additional five Peer Supporters: women with experience of the Pause Programme in London who offer one-to-one support and group work to help other women create change |
£12,500 | could pay for one woman to receive a year of support from Pause |
£20,000 | could enable Pause to help a local authority to understand the scale and pattern of women who have had repeat removals in their area |
£45,000 | could pay for Pause to measure the impact of the Pause Programme on the women that we work with, for one year |
£75,000 | could enable Pause to expand our preventative ‘Intervening Earlier’ pilot to an additional site for one year, to work with more care-experienced young women |
£100,000 | could pay for an independent evaluation of Pause, so we can better demonstrate our impact and cost-saving for local authorities |
£300,000 | could enable a new Pause Practice to deliver the Pause Programme in a new area for one year |
Thank you for your interest in Pause; any support you can provide will make a huge difference to the lives of women and their children.
