Watford Women's Centre Plus has been supporting victims and survivors of domestic violence for over 30 years and it is the only specialist and integrated service available to women in Hertfordshire. Demand for domestic abuse services has increased by 38% during Covid 19 and the Centre urgently needs your support to help local women achieve personal freedom, increase their self-esteem and take control of their own lives.

We are asking Hertfordshire residents to take part in #16DaysOfAction between 25 Nov - 10 Dec to help us fundraise for local women who daily suffer with domestic violence. See our "16 Reasons Why" Video below to learn more about the effects of domestic violence on women.

To take part there are just five simple steps to take...

1. Dream up your 16 day challenge - take a look at our #16DaysOfAction "Challenge Ideas" Video below for inspiration.

2. Head to the donate button and donate £16 - or whatever you can afford - to Watford Women's Centre or to set up your own fundraising page here.

3. Ask all your friends and family to sponsor you and challenge them to do their own 16 days challenge.

4. Complete your challenge.

5. Share a photo or video of your challenge on social media with #16DaysOfAction and don't forget to tag @WWCPlus in your challenge journey so we can cheer you on. We're on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram (@wwcplus).

* The only requirement is that you must follow Government guidelines on exercise and social distancing - most people will be taking part between 25 Nov - 10 Dec but you can do your activity whenever is most convenient for you.

If you have any questions or want to tell us you have signed up please email us at general@watfordwomenscentre.org.uk

GOOD LUCK!!!
