Could your donation help us reach £4000 today? Until we reach our £5k target, all donations will be doubled with funds from the Big Give's Women & Girls Match Fund. That means we need just £120 in donations to reach £4000.

Have you been thinking about donating to OBS?
Next week, donations made as part of our @biggive.bsky.social Women & Girls Match Fund campaign will be DOUBLED up to £2,500!
So a £25 donation would become £50, enough to pay for a family to receive support at one of our sessions.
