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,
