The Freedom Project is the only organisation offering free, long-term, community-based support in West Cumbria as part of its mission to help stop domestic abuse.

Working with perpetrators, families and children, they have supported over 10,000 individuals during their 22 years. Referrals last year increased by 57%.

Their key services include a helpline, group support for adults and children victims of abusive relationships, one-to-one counselling & training.

As a psychotherapist myself, I have learnt first hand how vital the support they offer is and I can’t thank them enough for the support they’ve given some of the children and young people I’ve worked with.

As a local charity, I hope to give them some additional funds so they can continue their amazing work and I’d really appreciate your donation to make this half marathon worth all of my time and effort.
