For 2018, as a company we have chosen to support Bury St Edmunds Women’s Aid (theRefuge). 

This is an important, local charity to us doing amazing work supporting women and children as they recover from the often horrific effects of domestic violence.  The charity operates a Refuge which offers a safe and secure home for up to 23 women and children at a time for up to 6 months whilst they undergo counselling and start to recover from their trauma and rebuild their lives. 

The charity recently opened an Outreach Centre which will enable them to help many more victims, particularly those who are hard to reach.  Of particular interest to us for our fundraising efforts, will be a teenage room which will be a safe place to go to escape their tumultuous home lives and seek support.  We will be fundraising for equipment and furnishings to make this room a great place for them to spend time.  

This is a cause which has really touched the hearts of all of our team and as well as any Lunch Bar donations we receive during the year we will be actively fundraising for this amazing charity – literally every penny raised helps make a difference to someones life.  Thank you for reading.
