Want to join me in supporting an urgent cause? 

I'm raising money for Refuge and your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate £1 or £100. Every little bit helps. Thank you for your support. I've included information about Refuge below. 

Refuge suggests 2,000 squats as a gesture for the cause, so I will be doing 66 squats a day from Nov 1st. Good way to make my legs even stronger - especially important for my fibromyalgia!

I want to raise a minimum of £260 - this because £52 represents one night of safety for one woman and her children and I’d like you to help me raise money for five nights. I have already donated for one night so we are on our way!

Refuge opened the world’s first refuge in Chiswick, West London, in 1971. It is now the country’s largest single provider of specialist accommodation and support to women and children escaping domestic violence and other forms of violence and abuse. On any given day Refuge supports more than 6,000 women, children and men.

Refuge provides emergency accommodation through a national network of refuges, alongside many other specialist services, including the freephone 24-Hour National Domestic Abuse Helpline 0808 2000 247. Refuge also offers community-based outreach services, culturally specific services and a team of independent domestic violence advocates (IDVAs), which supports women at the highest risk of serious injury or homicide. Refuge also runs award-winning media and advertising campaigns to raise public awareness of the issue and campaigns and lobbies for better provision for women and children experiencing domestic violence.
