On 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, I will be taking on a 16-mile walk along the Colne Valley Trail in support of Resolute as part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign.

Resolute provides vital support to people affected by domestic abuse, helping individuals and families rebuild their lives and access the support they need. Every day, their team works tirelessly to provide a safe space, practical guidance and emotional support to those facing incredibly difficult circumstances.

To mark the start of the campaign, I will be walking the full 16-mile Colne Valley Trail, a route that winds through the valleys, waterways and historic villages of West Yorkshire. The challenge represents the 16 days dedicated to raising awareness of violence against women and girls and encouraging action against gender-based violence.

Cheers to community. Cheers to making a difference.

Domestic abuse affects far too many people. While this walk is a personal challenge, it is also an opportunity to raise awareness, start important conversations and support a cause that changes lives every day.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help Resolute continue providing life-changing support to those who need it most.

Thank you for your generosity, encouragement and support. Together, we can help shine a light on an issue that cannot be ignored. 💜
