Coming Home To Your Truth CIC: The Women’s Closet

I’m Charlotte, a mum of two, survivor of domestic abuse, and founder of Coming Home To Your Truth CIC — a community-rooted project in Sevenoaks, Kent, dedicated to supporting women as they rebuild their lives after DV.

In 2018 I fled myself and entered refuge with my children. While I’ll always be grateful for the safety we found there, what came after was even harder — no emotional support, no tools to heal, and no community to rebuild with.

That’s the gap Coming Home To Your Truth exists to fill

Opening Now: The Women’s Closet

We are so proud to be opening The Women’s Closet — the first step in our wider vision for a Women’s Healing Centre.

The Women’s Closet will offer:
• clothing and essentials for women and children
• Emotional and practical support
• A safe, nurturing space for connection and community

This is where healing begins — with dignity, warmth, and being reminded that you are not alone

Building Toward Our Long-Term Vision

The Women’s Closet is just the beginning.
Our long-term goal is to open a permanent Women’s Healing Centre, where we can deliver:
• Programmes for survivors of domestic abuse
• Emotional and somatic healing workshops
• Food parcels and clothing donations
• A safe space for women and children to grow, rebuild, and come home to themselves

We are actively fundraising and applying for grants to make this a reality — but community support is what keeps the vision moving now.


How You Can Help

Every donation — big or small — helps us:
✅ Cover hall hire and running costs for The Women’s Closet
✅ Provide clothing, toiletries, and essentials for local women

✅ Build the foundation for our permanent centre

If you’d like to support in other ways, we’re also accepting toiletry donations (message us for drop-off details) and will begin accepting clothing donations again in November.



Together, We’re Building Hope

This is more than a fundraiser — it’s the start of something sacred.
A movement of women coming together to heal, restore, and rise.

We don’t need to be rescued —
We just need to be resourced.

Thank you for helping us open the doors,
and for standing beside us as we build the future, one woman at a time.

With love and gratitude,
Charlotte & Jo x
Founder, Coming Home To Your Truth CIC
