We are a Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Charity and stand proudly as an independent voice, where everyone will be believed, heard, and supported, no matter their gender, age, or ethnicity. Because everyone who has experienced abuse deserves to be heard.

Story

This is a cause close to Lorraine and I. Our daughter was a victim to a serious sexual offence at only the age of 12. She was brave enough to find her voice and support a Police investigation and go through the court process, leading to the suspects conviction. She would not have made it through the process without the support of her ISVA ( independent sexual violence advisor) who provided her with much needed emotional and practical support at a time she needed it the most!

All of your donations will go on to help support further victims of both sexual and domestic violence. A very worthy cause Lorraine will be taking part in her first 10k and I will be running to for this great cause please dig deep if you can ❤️
