SUPPORT. REBUILD. EMPOWER.

True Butterflies Foundation supports individuals and families in the south west of England affected by domestic abuse to rebuild their lives safely and sustainably.

​

What makes us different is our whole-family, long-term approach. We recognise that domestic abuse affects everyone, and that recovery takes time. Rather than short-term intervention, we provide ongoing, tailored support that helps individuals and families heal, rebuild relationships, and create lasting, meaningful chnage.

​

We provide speacialist support for adults through trained mentors, therapists, and parent workshops, alongside dedicated children's services, including therapeutic workshops, counselling where appropriate, trauma-informed programmes, and our unique Metamorphosis Academy, which offers tailored educational supports for children affected by domestic abuse.

​

Founded through lived experience and peer support, our work is rooted in empathy, trust, and understanding, creating strong, compassionate relationships with the families we support.

​

Our work moves people beyond crisis towards confidence, stability, and a safer future.

TESTIMONIALS

"We have worked with True Butterflies Foundation a number of times over the last 2 years. They welcomed the children and families warmly and always were professional in their interactions. I know that the children who worked with the councillors and mentors at True Butterflies Foundations welcomed the sessions and developed more emotional resilience following the sessions. I would recommend the True Butterflies Foundation to fellow professionals in the Primary sphere of education."    -- Mabe Primary School
