Kyra’s Route to Recovery project is celebrating its half way point – two very successful years completed, two more to go! Funded by the National Lottery, this project supports around 60 women every year who are recovering from domestic abuse or mental illness, providing them with a bespoke pathway through Kyra’s support services and activities. From quiet ‘drop in’ sessions, to professional counselling, the Freedom Programme and workshops on confidence and maintaining safe boundaries, every woman on the programme gets the tailored support she needs.

One participant said: “Kyra has been a godsend, I’ve had NHS counselling but all the little steps and courses along the way at Kyra have helped me more. Counselling […] really helped me change my perspective and how I thought about my relationship. There were flags but I didn’t see them or ignored them. It has
been life changing. I’m glad I’m not the person I was before and coming to Kyra changed that.”

Thank you to all the National Lottery players who make this kind of transformation possible!
