On Christmas Eve 2015 a friend was badly injured by her ex partner in a very bad domestic violence attack. The 32-year-old victim, a mum of two who lived in Welwyn Garden City, suffered a fractured skull, brain injury, bleeding on the brain, a fractured and dislocated shoulder, broken ribs down her left side, a punctured lung and a punctured valve in her heart. She spent 4 months in hospital in a brain injury unit and has sustained brain injuries.

We wanted to raise awareness and help a local charity that supports those who are effected by domestic violence which is invaluable. The charity Sunflower advise and support those effected, giving care that is badly needed.

We are also running an event on the 9th September 2018 'Sparkles Summer Ball' - Dinner, dance and live music - www.sparklesnights.co.uk further information athttps://www.facebook.com/events/1064279173704146
