We are running a raffle as part of our event in the led up for International Women's Day and would love you to donate to be in for a chance to win some excellent prizes! Tickets are £5. By donating 5 and leaving your name, you get one ticket!

All proceeds will be donated to Imkaan, the only UK-based, second-tier women's organisation dedicated to addressing violence against Black minoritised women and girls. Through celebrating the words and works of women & femmes of colour, we will support some of the most vulnerable women in the United Kingdom. In little-publicised proposals, the government plans to remove refuges and other forms of short-term supported housing from the welfare system. This directly harms vulnerable women fleeing abusive partners as housing benefit is the last guaranteed source of income available to refuges. On average, housing benefit makes up 53% of refuge funding. While this is damaging enough, this will hurt specialist services such as Asha refuge as explained in this article:
