Celebrating the Strength and Impact of Women Worldwide this Women’s History Month
In celebration of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day 2026, The Caring Family Foundation proudly reaffirms its dedication to building a world in which every woman can thrive.
This year, we align with the International Women’s Day theme, “Give to Gain” - a powerful reminder that when we give our care, hearts, resources, and commitment to women and girls, the benefits are shared by families, communities, and society as a whole. Give to Gain speaks to the collective progress that happens when we invest in equality. Progress toward gender equity - from safety and wellbeing to opportunity and representation - depends on purposeful action and sustained support.
At The Caring Family Foundation, we believe giving is a catalyst for change. By supporting organisations that empower women to rebuild and lead, we work to dismantle the cycle of domestic abuse through three critical pillars: Prevention to stop violence before it starts, Crisis support for immediate life-saving care, and Transformation to equip survivors with the tools for economic independence. Through partnership, trust, and long-term commitment, we continue working toward a more equitable, resilient, and sustainable future for women everywhere.
The Angelou Centre
Our partnership with The Angelou Centre started in 2024 to fund four essential refuge spaces. This investment ensures that survivors in the North East have immediate access to safety, reinforcing our commitment to removing the barriers that prevent women from fleeing domestic abuse.
Today, we continue to support The Angelou Centre with emergency refuge beds for women and children, and are now launching safe move-on housing for mothers and their children. Through a holistic approach - combining housing, psychological care and specialist children’s support - we will help women and their families move from crisis to safety and a stronger future.
We’re building on this work with a co-designed Community Kitchen delivering a 12-session culinary certification and a direct pathway into employment. By equipping women with skills and confidence, we’re supporting them to build secure, independent futures.
THE WORK WE'VE DONE SO FAR
In 2026, we are expanding our mission to focus on prevention - stopping the cycle of violence before it begins. While our roots are in emergency response, we now invest in education to empower the next generation. We drive this work through our partnerships with Tender, delivering projects on healthy boundaries, and Everyone’s Invited, dismantling rape culture across UK schools.
This commitment was further solidified when the Foundation brought the International Day of the Girl to Brazil for the first time last October, advocating for girls' rights in Congress. Today, we build on that milestone through our partnership with Promundo, promoting gender and racial equity so young people can lead lives free from fear.
More than 19,000 women and children supported by our initiatives that tackle domestic abuse across the UK and in Brazil.
Through education-focused partnerships, we are reaching over 3,140 students and 600 adults to build a foundation of safety across the UK and Brazil.
To date, we have supported over 80,000 domestic abuse services, including the national domestic abuse helpline
Our funding provides a lifeline in the UK and Brazil, ensuring survivors have access to the specialist psychological, legal, and emergency support required to rebuild their lives.
WE FUND PROGRAMMES THAT BUILD ECONOMIC RESILIENCE AND PROFESSIONAL SKILLS, EMPOWERING SURVIVORS TO SECURE THEIR OWN LIVELIHOODS AND RECLAIM THEIR AUTONOMY
OUR PLAN FOR THE FUTURE
Your Donation in Action
In 2026, we are deepening our support for frontline domestic abuse services, providing a vital lifeline for women and children at their most vulnerable.
We are committed to a 360-degree approach to safety. By funding services that span prevention, emergency crisis intervention, and long-term recovery, we ensure our support follows a survivor’s entire journey toward freedom.
We invest in transformative pathways, providing the tools for economic and emotional independence so survivors can reclaim their autonomy and shape their own futures.
