The Flying Badgers are a group of 6 Housing Professionals from Broxtowe Borough Council.  We wanted to do something this year to raise money and awareness for a good cause.

We are raising funds and awareness for Equation, formally Nottinghamshire Domestic Violence Forum.

Domestic Violence and Abuse can affect anybody from any walk of life, it can take many forms,and can cause untold mental and physical damage to those affected. It also often results in people,and families having to uproot and resettle in alternative accommodation, it is among the most common reasons for people approaching Local Authorities for help and assistance with housing.

Equation prevents and responds to abuse through:

Equipping communities with the knowledge and information that allows everyone to make positive relationship choices, recognise abuse and challenge domestic violence.

Enabling survivors of domestic abuse to access help through guidance and support.

Empowering individuals with the confidence to speak out against domestic violence with gender inequality, and the self-esteem to recognise their rights to a healthy relationship.

The Flying Badgers are: Laura Campbell, Claire Konsek, Debbie Johnson, Hayley Tierney Kat Shaw and Rebekka Clarke, please make a donation,  no matter how small, every penny towards our target helps.
