If you could make one wish come true this Christmas, what would it be?

To receive a very special present, or that your all-time favourite festive film will be on, or for snow on Christmas Day?

Emily* who is eight years old, once shared her wish with her child support worker at Refuge. One time, when her dad was hitting her mum in the street, Emily wished that it wouldn't happen anymore. Thanks to Refuge, her wish came true. 

Refuge wants to grant more wishes like this for those experiencing domestic violence. With your support, we can show women and children that there is hope; that they are not alone. 

A donation of £52 could pay for a family to spend the night in one of our refuges and wake up safe on Christmas Day. Your support could mean the end of months, or even years, of violence and abuse. Your donation could mean the end to a child, like Emily, witnessing her mother being beaten and belittled. 

Please donate today and help make more wishes come true.
