Sharon Bryan Consultancy Community Interest Company

I am excited to announce that Sharon Bryan Consultancy is now a Community Interest Company!

After 22 years of working in the field of domestic abuse I have finally taken this next step of making my vocation official. It has taken me a long time to feel confident enough to do this but 2020 has taught me many things!

We should never take life for granted! 2020 has been a very difficult year for all of us, everywhere in the world. Many of us have lost loved ones and worried about our families and friends. During lockdown, domestic abuse increased to alarming levels worldwide. The United Nations described the worldwide increase of domestic abuse as a “shadow pandemic” alongside COVID-19.

In my day to day work I also saw a significant increase in women needing support and I was and remain busier than I have ever been. Being a survivor of domestic abuse myself, I can empathise with the horror of being literally locked in with your abuser. Now with restrictions slowly lifting we need more help, more resources and more support for these women. The impact of all of this has given me the resolve to do more, which in turn has given me the confidence to launch my Community Interest Company.

I believe that together, we can all make a difference. If we all make a difference to just one woman, think how many women we will help?!

Your donations, how ever small, will make that difference and allow me to reach more women that need support, advice and understanding.

I invite you to join me on this journey and thank you in advance for your support.
