About "Charity Name"

[Organisation Name ] is an emerging UK-based charity dedicated to supporting Russian-speaking women from Russia, Ukraine, and other CIS countries who are experiencing domestic abuse in the United Kingdom. Founded by a survivor of domestic violence who successfully escaped an abusive relationship and rebuilt her life, the charity draws directly from lived experience to provide culturally sensitive, language-accessible support.

​

As the only dedicated Russian-speaking specialist charity in the UK focused on helping women from post-Soviet backgrounds exit abusive relationships, it addresses unique barriers including language gaps, immigration fears (such as visa dependency and threats of deportation), cultural isolation, and unfamiliarity with the British legal and welfare systems.

 

Services include:

​

• Step-by-step practical guidance ("blueprint") for safe exit from abuse

• Assistance with protective court orders (Non-Molestation Orders to prevent contact/threats, Occupation Orders for housing security)

• Help securing safe refuge accommodation for women and children

• Support in family court for child arrangements with emphasis on safety

• Navigation of benefits (benefits), police/social services, legal aid, and immigration routes (e.g., Migrant Victims of Domestic Abuse Concession and Indefinite Leave to Remain for domestic abuse victims)

• Confidential psychological support from Russian-speaking volunteer psychologists to heal trauma and rebuild confidence

Currently in the process of formal registration with the Charity Commission, the organisation operates through dedicated volunteers and relies on community donations (via GoFundMe) to deliver immediate help. Every contribution directly funds frontline services — from helpline responses to document preparation for legal protection.By bridging cultural and linguistic gaps, [Organisation Name] empowers women to reclaim safety, independence, and hope — ensuring no one faces abuse alone in a foreign system.
