Story

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page. I am excited to share that I am fundraising for the Womankind Bristol Women's Therapy Centre as part of a personal challenge, the "Deadly Dozen," taking place on May 16, 2026.

Womankind is a remarkable Bristol-based mental health charity run by women for women that I have the privilege of being a Trustee for. They provide essential support to improve women's mental health and wellbeing through specialized services such as a helpline, trauma counselling, group therapy, and befriending. Last year alone, their helpline responded to an incredible 5,470 calls, webchats, and emails from women in distres

The need for Womankind's services has never been more urgent. They work tirelessly to reach the most vulnerable women in our communities—refugees, asylum seekers, young girls aged 16-18, survivors of abuse and exploitation, and women with disabilities. With escalating levels of violence against women and girls alongside the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, the impact on women's welfare and mental health is profound. Demand for Womankind's vital work is at an all-time high; their services are needed now more than ever.

I have set a target of £1,000 to support this incredible charity. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving—they will never sell them or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, your contribution goes directly to Womankind Bristol Women's Therapy Centre. Together we can make a difference in the lives of many women who need our support today. Thank you!
