    Story

    I am delighted to be supporting Moray Women's Aid by organising a #CommunityBookPledge for them. This is a cause close to my heart, as a survivor of domestic abuse I know how hard it can be for children and their mums, especially at Christmas when everyone is focussed on having a happy, family time. This is why I am fundraising to give free Usborne books and activities to bring a little joy to those especially in need of it.

    If we raise over £120 then Usborne will contribute an additional 10% of the total.

    Melanie, Business Development and Funding Manager of MWA, said “Moray Women’s Aid provide support, guidance and accommodation for women and children who are or have experienced domestic abuse. We provide emotional support to help survivors understand their experiences so they feel empowered to move forward in their lives. Domestic abuse can lead to poor mental wellbeing, we would like to purchase books for women, children and young people that help them look after their mental wellbeing as well as fun activity books.”

      I am absolutely delighted that a large donation over the weekend has meant we have hit our goal! 🎉 🎉 You can’t have too much of a good thing though, so please continue to make a donation if you are able. This JustGiving page will be open until the end of this week.

      Books bring families together, comfort children, and inspire joy. They help children understand the world, do well at school and open doors to the future. In a recent survey, 85% of parents from Scotland's most deprived areas said reading helps them bond with their child and makes them happy. I’d like to a huge thank you to those who have donated so far. We have 1 week left to collect donations before placing an order, for books and activities, in time for Christmas. Please donate what you can and share this page on your social media.

      What a wonderful start! In less than a week we are halfway to meeting our target! Of course, I’d love it if we can smash this target and keep going. We have had 2 large donations to get this fundraiser started but if you can only manage to give £5 we will be equally grateful. “We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” – Mother Teresa

      We love the idea of books for families surviving domestic abuse and hope plenty of money floods in for such a great cause.
