Shetland Women's Aid supported 243 women and 106 children and young people last year alone, and we know that these numbers are just the tip of the iceberg. The fact is that everyone knows someone affected by domestic abuse in Shetland, whether they realise it or not. It's just not something that gets spoken about enough.

Over these 16 Days, The Rebels are going "sweemin for weemin" to raise money for SWA's viral services, and plan to hit that freezing cold sea every day! Be sure to keep up with the fun on our Facebook page! If you see us ..give us a wave & a cheer! 🌊

Your donation will go directly towards SWA's specialist services for women children and young people affected by domestic abuse. They provide a range of practical and emotional support including safety planning, trauma therapy and temporary accommodation for those feeling abuse. You can learn more about their work by visiting www.shetlandwa.org

Thank you so much!
