FNN Harbour Foundation UK

FNN Harbour Foundation was founded from a simple but powerful belief: no disabled person should have to face domestic or emotional abuse alone.

The charity was established by Dr Abigail Muchecheti, whose personal experiences, professional work and academic research have given her a deep understanding of how abuse, disability and social isolation can intersect. She has seen how emotional and psychological abuse can undermine a person's confidence, dignity and independence, often leaving invisible wounds that go unrecognised by others.

Too often, disabled people experience additional barriers when seeking help. Limited mobility, chronic illness, dependence on others, inaccessible services, communication barriers and social isolation can make it much harder to disclose abuse or access support. Many survivors feel unheard, misunderstood or overlooked, not because their experiences are less significant, but because services are not always designed with disability in mind.

FNN Harbour Foundation was created to help address these gaps.

Our mission is to ensure that disabled people affected by domestic or emotional abuse have access to support that is compassionate, accessible and centred on dignity. We believe that every survivor deserves to be listened to, believed and supported, regardless of disability or circumstance.

We do not seek to replace the excellent work already undertaken by domestic abuse organisations. Instead, we work alongside charities, statutory services and community organisations to strengthen support for disabled survivors through peer support, information, signposting, education, awareness raising and partnership working.

Our vision is a society where disabled people can access safe, inclusive and equitable support without fear of discrimination, exclusion or being overlooked because of their disability.

Every conversation we have, every partnership we build and every resource we develop is guided by one simple principle:

No disabled person should ever feel unseen, unheard or unsupported.

Together, we are building a future where accessibility, dignity and hope are at the heart of every survivor's journey.
