I personally know a couple of people that have escaped coercive and controlling relationships. Although not physically violent, this psychological, emotional and often financial control is a very frightening form of domestic abuse. 

I wanted to support a small charity close to my home, and chose The Next Chapter because of the amazing work they do supporting survivors.

I was lucky enough to get entry to the London Marathon this year, running is something that keeps me going and has been great for my mental and physical wellbeing, particularly during the pandemic. Please do donate to this amazing cause if you can.
