Why we are fundraising?

Did you know the police in England and Wales receive 100 calls every hour relating domestic abuse? (HMIC, 2015)

With three women being killed a fortnight by a current or ex-partner, so much needs to change before women are safe. This is why I am taking on this fundraiser to raise vital funds and awareness for survivors of domestic abuse, but I need your help.

The difference your support can make

£10 Could fund 1 life-changing conversation between a professional Women's Aid support worker and a survivor of domestic abuse.

Join us for an empowering and exhilarating Bachata Lady Style dance class led by the internationally renowned dancer, Alexa (@alexa_bachatauk). This special event is not just about learning the art of dance—it's about coming together as a community to support a cause close to our hearts. All funds raised from this event will be donated to Women's Aid, a charity dedicated to ending domestic abuse against women and children.

Did you know:

The police receive over 100 calls an hour relating to domestic abuse.

1 in 4 women over the age of 16 will experience domestic abuse.

On average at least one woman a week is killed by male partner/ex partner.

Almost half of women in refuge services reported feeling depressed or having suicidal thoughts as a direct result of the domestic abuse they had experienced.

- This is why we're holding a fundraiser for Women’s Aid. Every penny will go towards keeping women and children safe.

- Just £10 can fund 1 life-saving conversation between a survivor and a professional support worker on their Live Chat.

- 100% of the proceeds will be going to Women’s Aid (after the cost of the venue).
