Padre Helene's 60 for 60 fundraiser for Refuge

Helene Grant is raising money for Refuge

Team: Team 60 for 60

Walking 60 miles on my 60th birthday weekend · 12 September 2026

Refuge opened the world’s first refuge in West London in 1971. We support thousands of women & children every day, experiencing domestic and sexual violence, female genital mutilation, forced marriage, stalking, trafficking, prostitution & so-called ‘honour’ based violence.

Story

One in four women will experience domestic abuse (which is not just physical abuse) at some point in their lifetime. Some of them you will know, even if you don't realise it. Some of them come to my office and that's why I chose THIS charity for my challenge.

Help me, please, to raise funds by donating to my own 24 hour walk, seriously every penny counts so I don't mind if you give 10p, £10, or £100. My feet will thank you forever, although not personally!

You might even consider a challenge of your own - join Team 60 for 60 and raise £100 by walking 60 miles yourself between August 14 and September 13 - do it your way. Just drop me a message and I'll get you added to our Team fundraising page and WhatsApp group.
