For the past four years Firecracker have been running an internal christmas initiative with the Eaves Foundation.
Eaves have shelters in London where victims of domestic violence are able to 'disappear' with their children from abusive spouses/partners. Often they have had to run in the middle of the night with the clothes on their backs and a favourite toy, nothing else.
The shelters offer a safe haven for 10-12 weeks until somewhere more permanent can be found for the families. They are out of contact by necessity from their friends and family.

Christmas Countdown
October 20th, 2011 by Sarah Aird-Mash
