What is the challenge?

A Mile a Day in May is a collaboration between Cyfannol Women's Aid and our sister charities working to end violence against women and girls in Wales. Choose to walk, wheel, run, cycle, swim or even hop your way through the challenge for Cyfannol Women's Aid. A Mile a Day in May, your own way.

Why take part?

Like many charities, we are struggling to survive in this challenging financial climate. In working together by sharing this challenge and our resources, our collective ability to raise funds and awareness is boosted during this tough time.

We need your support more than ever. Please support Cyfannol Women's Aid and take part in this challenge, to help achieve a change that lasts. No-one should face any form of violence against women, and we need strong and sustainable services to have any chance of making it stop.

Here is how your donations can make a real difference to survivors across Gwent:

Personal Safety Equipment:

Items like personal alarms, door security devices, recording equipment, and safety lighting can help individuals feel safer at home and in the community.

This can cost an average of £73.14 per person.

Non-Perishable Food Supply:

Providing essential food supplies helps stock our drop-in Hwb, offering warm meals in a safe space. It also enables us to distribute food to those we support through our outreach project.

Our no-cook food bundles cost around £15-£20 per person.

Emergency Accommodation Support:

Covering the costs of short-term stays in safe housing/hotels for those fleeing abuse can give them the freedom to leave. On average, it takes 5–7 attempts before individuals leave for good.

A budget hotel for one-night costs between £40–£80 per night.
