Haven - A Charity for Children & Young People Affected by Domestic Abuse

Haven was established over 40-years ago as an independent charity delivering specialist services to children and young people affected by domestic abuse.

"We are the only charity in Sheffield fulfilling this role, providing a range of needs-led services to children and young people aged 0 – 25 years old and their wider family. Inclusive practice is at the heart of everything we do and we are passionate about supporting all children and young people that have experienced domestic abuse, and their families. "

My role as a trustee is to ensure that the organisation pursues its purpose by developing and agreeing a long-term strategy that complies with its governing document, charity law and company law.
