STORM FAMILY CENTRE – ANNUAL REPORT
Executive Summary
This year has marked powerful growth, resilience, and transformation at STORM Family Centre. We remain dedicated to supporting women, families, and young people affected by domestic abuse, trauma, inequality, poverty, and social disadvantage. With more than 5,000 women and over 1,000 young people engaging in our services, STORM continues to be a trusted lifeline in the community.
We proudly celebrate the achievements of women who have completed accredited courses, progressed into employment, and entered university. We have stood alongside survivors in courtrooms, safeguarding meetings, and critical decisionmaking moments, ensuring no woman faces trauma alone.
Our youth programs have evolved significantly, building confidence, skills, and aspiration among young people aged 10–18 (and up to 25 for those with SEND). Through mentoring, life skills, creative industries, employment pathways and community engagement, we have helped shape safer, more hopeful futures.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our Trustees, Patrons, partners, and supporters. We also celebrate the remarkable journey of our CEO, Marie Hanson MBE, who is already a UPF Ambassador and will be working closely with the Universal Peace Federation on joint events and advocacy. With her upcoming book release and invitations across four US states for readings and signings, STORM enters a new chapter of international visibility — amplifying the voices of women worldwide. A special thank you to Leon Butler, one of our long-time trustees who sadly resigned on the 13th of November this year 2025; and a welcome back to Joeline Garner Joel who was appointed on 21st November this year 2025 as an interim Chairperson until our next AGM where she will be appointed as a Chair and trustee full-time. It was unanimously agreed by all trustees for Joeline to be appointed.
Our message remains clear:
We will continue to stand for women, stand against violence, and “Stop the Silence — End Domestic Violence.”
Introduction
Founded in 2004 by Marie Hanson MBE, STORM Family Centre continues to make a meaningful impact by supporting individuals facing domestic abuse, mental health challenges, unemployment, poverty, and youth violence.
We are deeply connected to communities that are often underrepresented or misunderstood — particularly Black ethnic minority and Global Majority communities, lone parents, refugees and those living in some of Wandsworth’s most deprived wards.
Through a broad range of programs and a dedicated, trauma-informed team, STORM has empowered thousands of individuals by offering:
-
Safety and emotional recovery
-
Practical and legal support
-
Education and skills development
-
Community, connection, and hope
Mission & Values
S.T.O.R.M stands for:
-
Support
-
Trust
-
Opportunity
-
Rebuilding
-
Motivation
Our mission is to support, rebuild, and motivate individuals to transform their lives through education, empowerment, and services that break down barriers.
These values underpin every program, every interaction, and every decision we make.

STORM FAMILY CENTRE LIMITED
Women’s Emotional Support & Domestic Abuse Services
Many women arrive at STORM carrying years of trauma, fear and silence. Time and again, they tell us that STORM is the first place they have truly felt heard, understood, and valued.
Over the past two years, we have been able to counsel and support over 100 women through:
-
Twice-weekly emotional support and counselling
-
One-to-one trauma-informed sessions
-
Crisis intervention and advocacy
-
Confidence-building and goal-setting
-
Support with housing, benefits, immigration and practical issues
-
Guidance around children, family, and parenting challenges
-
Accompaniment and support at court hearings, safeguarding meetings and legal processes
Women repeatedly tell us that the support they receive at STORM feels more compassionate, responsive and effective than statutory counselling, where many felt rushed or unheard.
(2020 Campaign link): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd1bWrXHnlg
Our approach is holistic. We treat women as whole people — not just as “cases” or “victims” — helping them rebuild:
-
Confidence and identity
-
Emotional resilience
-
Parenting and family dynamics
-
Skills and aspirations for the future
Empower Lunch Club, Food Bank & Parenting Support
Alongside counselling, our practical and community-based services remain vital:
-
The Empower Lunch Club supports around 38 women each week, providing a warm, non-judgmental space where women can talk, share food, build friendships and feel less alone.
-
Our food bank supports approximately 35–40 women and families each week, helping to relieve the pressure of the cost of living crisis and ensuring no one is left without essentials.
-
Our weekly parenting group engages around 30 mothers, offering practical strategies for routines, communication, boundaries, and strengthening family wellbeing.
Together, these services support emotional stability, household resilience, and safer, calmer homes for children.
Education, Courses & New Beginnings
Education is a key part of rebuilding life after trauma.
This year, women have successfully completed:
-
Health & Social Care NVQ Level 2 & 3
-
Other accredited and non-accredited learning and personal development courses
Many women have:
-
Gone into paid employment, especially in health and social care
-
Progressed into further training and university
-
Taken on volunteering and leadership roles in the community
For many, this was their first return to learning after years of abuse or instability. Our on-site childcare — including support for children with additional needs — has removed barriers that would otherwise prevent mothers from taking these opportunities.
One woman said:
“They supported me to gain my Level 3, provided childcare for my child with additional needs, and were there during my darkest moments. They reminded me of my strength.”
These achievements demonstrate the power of combining emotional recovery with practical progression.
Youth Mentoring & Life Skills Program
(Ages 10–18, and up to 25 for those with SEND)
5
STORM FAMILY CENTRE LIMITED
STORM has continued to develop a structured, trauma-informed youth program focused on:
-
Young people who are NEET (not in education, employment or training)
-
Those at risk of exclusion, exploitation, youth violence or low aspiration
-
Young people facing disadvantage, poverty, insecure housing or social isolation
Our youth offer includes:
-
1:1 and group mentoring with relatable role models
-
Girls’ safety, confidence and empowerment sessions
-
Life skills (cooking, budgeting, CV writing, teamwork)
-
Exposure to the creative industries – film, music, podcasting, storytelling
-
Employment pathways, including scaffolding and health & safety training through Stellar Scaffolding
-
Giving Back Days – intergenerational volunteering, gardening, estate improvement
-
Teamwork and wellbeing activities such as roller skating and outdoor sessions
-
Educational trips including visits to the Old Bailey
A major highlight was when ITV visited STORM to interview one of our young men who had completed the scaffolding pathway. His story – from risk to opportunity – showed the power of targeted support and real work routes in changing a young person’s life.
The program has:
-
Improved confidence, communication, and decision-making
-
Reduced isolation and negative peer influences
-
Created real routes into training, apprenticeships, and work
-
Built trust in adults and services among young people who previously felt abandoned
-
or misunderstood

Community Events & Cultural Celebrations
STORM recognises that healing is not only individual — it is also cultural and collective. Our community events play a big role in building pride, connection, and belonging.
Black History Celebration
Our Black History event welcomed over 80 women and children in a powerful celebration of culture, identity and legacy.
The event included:
-
Shared food and traditional dishes
-
Music and cultural performances
-
Personal stories and testimonies
-
Traditional dress and displays
Women described the celebration as:
-
“Empowering”
-
“Emotional”
-
“A reminder of who we are and what we bring to the world.”
It honored the strength and contributions of Black women past and present, while inspiring the next generation to walk proudly in their heritage.

2024 Peace Concert
In Memory of Our Friend and Corporate Supporter, David Ball
This year, we were deeply saddened by the passing of David Ball, a much-loved friend of STORM and a highly respected corporate partner. David was not only a CEO; he was a man of genuine humility, kindness, and integrity who treated everyone with dignity and warmth. He truly understood STORM’s mission and stood alongside us in our work to tackle gun and knife crime.
David played a key role in our Peace Concert and panel discussion , stepping in to chair the panel when no one else could be found. He led the discussion with professionalism, calmness, and heart, giving grieving parents the confidence to share their stories. When he interviewed two parents whose children were killed through knife crime, he made them feel safe, heard and respected — even moved to tears himself. His compassion that day left a lasting impact on everyone in the room and helped inspire others, including one father who later went on to start his own charity.
He also visited STORM during a particularly intense day, quietly observing as we supported a family fleeing domestic violence, welcomed guests from the USA, and provided counselling to another woman in crisis. Afterwards, he expressed his amazement at how much STORM does, and it was clear he saw himself not just as a sponsor, but as part of the STORM family.
Without David’s support, belief, and leadership, our Peace Concert and its powerful conversations would not have been the same. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched, the events he helped shape, and the ongoing work to end violence in our communities. He will be greatly missed and always remembered with gratitude and love.
Windrush Celebration – Bringing Kingston to Wandsworth
This year, STORM Family Centre proudly hosted a vibrant and unforgettable Windrush Celebration, welcoming over 200 people to honor the legacy, resilience, and cultural impact of the Windrush generation.
From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere was alive with:
-
Reggae music and classic anthems
-
Laughter and conversation
-
The aroma of traditional Caribbean food
Elders, Windrush pioneers, local leaders and community champions were treated like royalty. Many settled into familiar games of dominoes, shared memories, and enjoyed being recognised as the pillars of our community.
Young people from the community and from STORM’s programs served elders with pride, building intergenerational respect and connection. Our Golden Women’s Group and our “60+ Treasures” enjoyed music, food, and companionship in a safe, welcoming environment.
The celebration was brought to life by Windrush vibes that kept the crowd dancing, singing and smiling throughout the day. Children enjoyed free rides and entertainment, including a traditional merry-go-round – their excitement and joy were visible in every smile.
A beautiful part of the day was the multicultural unity it created. The Somalian community joined in, cooking and sharing their own dishes with warmth and pride. Together, we celebrated shared values of family, respect, migration, and resilience.
This event reminded us that Windrush is not just history – it is living heritage. The spirit of Windrush continues to shape Wandsworth, and STORM is proud to honor that legacy.

STORM FAMILY CENTRE LIMITED
International Day, Christmas Appeal & Seasonal Engagement
Other key events included:
- International Day – where women from many cultures shared food, clothing,
traditions and stories, strengthening unity and understanding.
-
A Christmas Appeal supporting women and children in refuge and families facing
-
hardship, including gifts and essential items.
-
Family outings and festive activities that brought joy, rest and connection during
-
a difficult economic period.
These events created joy, community and relief at times when families needed it most.
Survivor Voices – Real Stories of Change
The heart of STORM’s work is best expressed by the women themselves.
“I honestly don’t know where I would be today without STORM Family Centre. They helped me gain my functional skills and complete my Level 3 in Health and Social Care. They even provided free childcare for my three-year-old with additional needs so I could study. They were there in my darkest moments, listened when I was depressed and overwhelmed, and reminded me of the strength I carry as a mother. STORM is more than a service – they are a lifeline.”
Another woman shared:
“I was emotionally abused and isolated. The situation got worse after I had my son and then twins. The abuse turned physical, and I was left feeling hopeless, alone and unsafe. Marie and STORM took me seriously, supported me every single day, and helped me get a non-molestation order. We have now moved cities. Me and my four children are safe, happy and free. I am no longer a victim, but a survivor of domestic violence.”
These testimonies reflect the strength of the women we work with — and the role STORM plays as a bridge from crisis to safety, and from surviving to thriving.
