Minvera House Donation

18th March 2025

Wigginton was proud to assist Minerva House by supplying much-needed seating for their communal lounge.

At WG Wigginton, we believe that small acts can make a big difference. That’s why we were so proud to support Minerva House by supplying much-needed seating for their communal lounge, in partnership with Solace Women’s Aid.

Our Social Value team, working closely with Solace, sourced two high-quality leather sofas from the Barnet Furniture Centre. What might seem like a simple donation has had a profound effect transforming the lounge into a warm, welcoming, and safe space where residents can relax, spend time together, and feel at home.

The feedback we’ve received from Minerva House has been truly moving:

"The living room has been transformed into a welcoming environment for our residents, lifting their spirits when they enter the room. It is so heart-warming to see our families spending quality time together... It really has had a huge positive impact on their well-being."Louise Acunzo, Service Manager

"The presence of essential furniture, like the sofas you provided, plays a crucial role in helping to create a sense of safety and belonging, which is key to their recovery journey."Nihal Ates, Domestic Abuse Manager

For many of the women and children at Minerva House, the refuge provides not only safety but also a vital chance to rebuild their lives after escaping domestic abuse. Having a comfortable, homely communal area is an important part of that journey a place where families can eat together, talk, laugh, and begin to heal.

We are truly grateful for the opportunity to give back and to play even a small part in supporting the incredible work that Solace Women’s Aid does every day.

At WG Wigginton, community has always been at the heart of what we do. Initiatives like this remind us that our role goes beyond the projects we deliver it’s about people, connection, and making a real difference where it’s needed most.
