Kaleidoscopic UK Hosts Post-Separation Abuse Awareness Reception at the Houses of Parliament

/in

Kaleidoscopic UK was honored to attend the Houses of Parliament to host our Post-Separation Abuse Awareness Reception alongside Clive Jones MP, meeting with both MPs and Ministers.

It was a privilege to share experiences and raise awareness about post-separation abuse—a form of abuse that remains too often overlooked. Abuse does not necessarily end when a relationship ends. For most survivors, separation marks the beginning of another difficult chapter involving coercive control, harassment, intimidation, and the misuse of legal, financial, and child-custody systems.

As a survivor-led charity, we were proud to be joined by our team and patrons, Noushka Design Ltd and Dr. Carly Jones MBE. Our goal in Parliament was to highlight these realities, challenge misconceptions, build strategic connections, and advocate for systemic changes. Survivors and their children need systems that recognize patterns of abuse, prioritize meaningful prevention, protection and prosecution while ensuring their voices shape key decisions.

 

The importance of recognising post-separation abuse

Leaving an abuser should mark the opportunity to rebuild a life, not the start of another battle. It is also the most dangerous time whe escaping an abuser and must be recognised.

Kaleidoscopic UK Thanks Wokingham United Charities for Supporting Christmas Food Hampers

/in

Kaleidoscopic UK, knows that everyone deserves to feel supported, cared for and remembered, especially at Christmas, many of us when escaping also needed a helping hand.

We are incredibly grateful to Wokingham United Charities for supporting us with funding towards our Christmas food hampers in our 7th year of supporting at Christmas 🎁

Your generosity will help us bring a little extra comfort, kindness and festive cheer to survivors and their families who may be facing difficult times this Christmas through post separation, economic and financial abuse among other pressures.

More than just food

For those we support, hampers are about so much more than food. They are a reminder that someone cares, that they are not forgotten, and that they are part of a community that wants to make a difference amd relieve a little pressure.

As a survivor-led charity, we know that the impact of domestic abuse can continue long after someone has escaped. Christmas can bring additional pressures, and practical support can make a meaningful difference when it is needed most.

A heartfelt thank you

Thank you, Wokingham United Charities, for standing alongside us and helping us support survivors and families in our community. Your kindness and generosity mean so much to us and to those whose lives we touch.

Together, we can spread hope, ease some of the pressures families face and help make Christmas a little brighter. ✨🎄

With heartfelt thanks from everyone at Kaleidoscopic UK

Why does this matter to us?

Because the messages we send through public platforms, endorsements and decisions matter. When allegations of abuse are raised, the voices and experiences of those who come forward must not be overlooked.

For survivors, seeing individuals accused of abuse continue to receive prominent public platforms can raise deeply difficult questions about accountability, whose voices are valued and whether their experiences are truly taken seriously.

We recognise the importance of due process and that allegations must be determined through the appropriate legal processes. However, organisations and venues also have a responsibility to consider the wider safeguarding implications and the message their decisions send.

This is bigger than one performance. It is about the culture we create, the standards we uphold and the example we set for women and girls, and for every victim-survivor who deserves to know that their experiences matter.

Survivors should never have to question whether their voices matter more than commercial interests or public entertainment.

We stand with survivors. We stand for accountability. And we will continue to challenge the normalisation of abuse.

Because silence and indifference are not neutrality.

Male Allies Challenging Sexism are one of 13 organisations who have co-signed Brent Cllr Anton Georgiou’s 2nd letter to Wembley Stadium connected by EE asking that Marilyn Manson is dropped from the scheduled performance in support of Slipknot in July 2027.

The founders of Male Allies Challenging Sexism (MACS) stated that publicly endorsing abusive men sends ”a harmful message. We are campaigning for Manson to be dropped from the scheduled performance of Slipknot at Wembley because of the testimonies by over a dozen women, his forthcoming sexual assault court case in November of 2027, and to secure the safety and wellbeing of concertgoers and women and girls across the UK.”

  • No Stage for Abusers (UK)
  • S.N.A.P – Survivor Network for Assault Protection (USA)
  • The Model Alliance (USA)
  • Victim’s Rights Advocacy (USA)
