The Key to a New Life

Katie Newell is raising money for Black Country Women's Aid

Skydive · 21 June 2025

Imagine never having a key to a safe space you can call your own. Never having a place where you feel secure, warm and protected. Never having somewhere where you are sure that no-one will hurt you.

Story

I will be Skydiving in June to raise funds to furnish Key to a New life builds.

I hate heights & this is completely out of my comfort zone but I want to raise funds for those who find themselves in unsafe situations through no fault of their own!

The Key to a New Life

Imagine never having a key to a safe space you can call your own. Never having a place where you feel secure, warm and protected. Never having somewhere where you are sure that no-one will hurt you.

In 2024 BCWA had to turn away over two thirds of people who applied for refuge because of a lack of spaces. This reflects a national shortage of safe house provision.
