💜 Fundraiser for Thrive – Rebuilding Lives, Restoring Hope 💜
Imagine growing up in a place where just being a girl increases your risk of harm.
Where dreams are crushed not by lack of ambition, but by violence, poverty, fear and neglect.
Where home — the one place that should be safe — becomes the most dangerous.
That’s the reality for too many girls in the area covered by Thrive, a domestic abuse charity working in what’s been identified as Wales’ worst place to grow up as a girl.
Here, domestic violence, poverty, generational trauma, addiction, poor mental health, housing insecurity, broken education and social isolation form the background noise of childhood.
The result? Anxiety, trauma, lost potential — and a cycle that repeats unless we do something right now.
We can’t be bystanders. We need to be changemakers.
Thrive is on the front line — and their work is more urgent than ever.
They provide:
🧠 Mental health support and trauma counselling
🧕 Empowerment workshops for women and girls
📚 Education programmes to break the cycle
🏠 Safe houses and refuge spaces
👩⚖️ Justice advocacy and safeguarding support
🤝 Community reintegration and long-term healing
💼 Job training and opportunities
👩👧 Family support to protect children
🗣️ Awareness campaigns that change hearts and minds
🔄 Intervention and prevention at every level
This is not charity.
This is transformation. This is saving lives.
This is about restoring hope, dignity, and safety for those who’ve been denied it.

I’m raising funds to support Thrive’s vital work — and I need your help.
Together, we can create a Wales where no child grows up in fear, where women and girls are safe, empowered and free and where communities stand together against domestic abuse.
