Through the years
In 2021
Living Keys was establised in June 2021 working remotely from home.
Supporting over 100 women in our first year providing courses on line and supporting women online until we could find office space.
In 2022
We supported over 115 women, and it was the start of a new season: we received an office space in a community centre, so we can now offer more support. We are able to plan workshops and a Drop In service, as well as facilitating free courses to women on a daily basis.
In 2026
We have now supported 636 women since 2021, and have been honoured with the prestigious King's Award for Voluntary Service - the highest award given to UK volunteer groups, equivalent to an MBE.
In 2025
We have supported 511 women so far and now have 70 ladies on our various different free courses for women, from September until Christmas.
Many have stated that they feel empowered and recognise that the abuse was not their fault and feel confident to move on with the help and support of Living Keys - we are here as long as they need us.
In 2023/24
We have supported over 400 women so far, and continue to offer support in various ways at our drop-in serviceon a Monday afternoon, providing free courses for women who have been through domestic violence and continue to journey with many when the courses come to an end. We also continue to run Cherished Support Group on a Monday morning and bring women together in our communities. Cherished has been running for 10 years on 9th November 2024.
