<p>Solace Women's Aid provides support services in London to over 4,000 women & children each year who are affected by domestic and sexual violence. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">2 women are killed each week in the UK by a partner/ex-partner </span>and 53,000 domestic violence crimes are reported in London annually, the majority go unreported.</p>
<p>Solace Women's Aid offers a range of community based services: advice, support, legal services, counselling, parenting services, children's services including individual and group counselling, but due to funding cuts, they are currently faced with<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> a difficult decision to reduce many of these services, including children's support services</span>...</p>
<p>Every penny will help to keep these programmes running and provide essentials for women and children who fled domestic violence, as well as help children overcome their trauma resulting from this experience.</p>
