Mums In Need (MIN) is a Sheffield based charity that supports mums who are experiencing post-separation domestic violence.
We provide our Mins (mums) with support right from the start of their referral and will continue to support them for as long as they need us. We provide them with practical support, and offer an array of tailored services that are designed to improve emotional and physical wellbeing.
To be eligible for support from us, you must:
Live in the Sheffield or surrounding areas
Have left an abusive relationship
Share children with the perpetrator
The Support You Can Access Through Mums In Need
Every mum referred to Mums In Need is assigned a dedicated 1:1 Caseworker who provides consistent, personalised support. Your Caseworker will guide you through a range of practical services, including:
Peer support groups
Financial wellbeing workshops
Legal information sessions
Educational guidance
These services are designed to help you navigate the challenges that often arise after leaving an abusive relationship, including family court, financial control, and hostile parenting.
We understand the emotional toll of post-separation abuse. That’s why your Caseworker can help you access:
One-to-one counselling with trauma-informed professionals
Group sessions focused on emotional resilience and recovery
Safe spaces to connect with others who understand your journey
These services aim to help you regain confidence, process trauma, and build emotional strength.
Looking after your body is just as important as caring for your mind. Subject to availability and funding, we also offer seasonal physical wellbeing sessions that may include:
Yoga and gentle fitness classes
Horticultural therapy
Mindfulness and relaxation workshops
These activities promote both mental and physical health, and offer opportunities for calm, connection, and personal growth.
