This winter will be harder than most for those experiencing domestic abuse and those recovering from it. The cost of living crisis is hitting bills, rent, food, transport, and the prospect of leaving a perpetrator is being weighed up with financial security. We need to make sure that women are able to leave and are fully supported during this difficult time and for that, we need your help.

With the season of hot chocolate and a good book upon us, why not join Solace's reading challenge as part of the 16 Days of Activism. We want to explore how women use their voices in writing to empower themselves and others and understand what we can all do to ensure all voices are heard. Whether it's a classic, your favourite or a brand new best seller, we want to make sure that the words of women and those who are promoting equality are being heard... or in this case read!
