A team of child and adolescent mental health (CAMHS) colleagues will be walking a marathon at the end of January to raise money for Refuge. We see on a regular basis the devastating impact of domestic abuse on the mental health of children and young people.

One woman in four will experience domestic abuse at some point in her lifetime and on average two women are killed each week in England and Wales by a current or former partner.

Refuge is the largest single provider of specialist services to survivors of domestic, sexual and gender-based abuse and runs the freephone, 24-hour National Domestic Abuse Helpline that provides the first step to women escaping abuse. 

 By kindly sponsoring me today you are helping to save and change the lives of thousands of women and their children. Thank you
