How your donation can help

Every donation helps Family Matters be there for survivors of sexual violence when they need us most. Your support funds therapeutic sessions, helpline calls, and advocacy that helps survivors navigate the criminal justice system, health services, and daily life after abuse. With your help, we can reduce waiting times, reach more people across Kent and Bexley, and ensure that no one has to face the impact of abuse alone. Whatever you can give makes a real difference to someone rebuilding their life.
