Mums In Need (MIN) is a Sheffield based charity that supports mums who are experiencing post- separation domestic violence. We were founded to support mothers who have been subjected to domestic emotional abuse and violence. MIN provides practical guidance and emotional support to mums who have left abusive partners but are still suffering ongoing coercive control after separation. We work with mums to empower them with the skills and confidence to move forward with their lives after the relationship has ended. 

"Mums In Need is the only continuous support that I have had.
I would go as far as saying that the charity is life saving."
