221 Divorce Support is a SELF HELP not-for-profit organisation, committed to providing essential support to those who are suffering from the break-up of their marriage or long-term partnership.
221 Divorce Support was established in 2003 as a direct response to the lack of help available to people who were experiencing the devastating effects of being rejected by their husband/wife/partner, or who had had to leave an abusive or unsustainable relationship.
221 has run successful groups in Peterborough and Cambridge for over twenty years, offering continuous and non-judgemental support and helping individuals find the strength and determination to move on and embrace a positive future.
Divorce is now commonplace, but there are huge numbers of people suffering extreme stress, fear and a debilitating lack of confidence as a result. Losing your partner after several years of marriage is devastating. Suffering rejection, often through infidelity or abuse, can create challenges that can seem insurmountable. Friendships and families suffer, and it can be difficult to know where to turn for help. Our work is crucial.
With the support of the many local churches, charities and teams of NHS Social Prescribers, we are reaching into the communities and drawing alongside those who need our support.
221 Divorce Support is run entirely by volunteers who have all been through a divorce or separation. They have experienced the trauma and pain and are there to listen and encourage. We have no political, religious or financial agenda - we bring people together to help regain their individual strengths and self-esteem.
We now have groups in Peterborough, Oakham, Northampton, Kimbolton and Cambridge. Several more are being planned.
