2021 LWA EVENTS
- LWA Christmas Cards – on sale now
Our Christmas Cards are now on sale! There is very limited stock, so get in there quick. It’s £5* for a pack of 6 cards, there’s 3 of each design.
This year’s Christmas cards were designed by some of the children who have been supported by LWA’s County Family Service (details on the back of the card as well). Our Family Support Workers support children who have lived in homes where domestic abuse has taken place. The team give the children a space to talk about what they have been through, and through fun, creative activities help them to gain an understanding of what a healthy relationship looks like so that they can break the cycle and go on to have healthy fulfilling relationships of their own. The team also help the children to better understand and deal with their emotions, and build up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Our children have loved designing cards to help us raise money to support other children and families.
