I hope your home is a place where you can relax and feel safe - but sadly, for many women and their children, it isn't. And when they finally find the courage to leave, they may not know how, and they may not know where to go...

This February, I will be walking two miles every day for Refuge. Refuge is a charity that supports thousands of women and their children who are leaving abusive and violent relationships. Just £25 could provide essentials for a woman arriving at a safe refuge. Many come with little more than the clothes they are wearing.

Please sponsor me - every £1 makes a difference. Thank you!
