At 8am, the amazing Claire from Blissful Swindon set off from Avebury to run 40 miles along the Ridgeway to raise funds for our charity. She’s already raised over £800 for us today and there's still time to add to her fundraising page. gofundme.com/f/swindon-wome…

Disappointing news. womensaid.org.uk/home-office-re… Many victims of domestic abuse worry how to pay bills if they leave an abusive relationship. Money should not be the deciding factor. We work to support ALL victims to enable them to move forward to become Survivors.

Financial stability supports physical safety. Economic abuse can be one of the first signs of domestic abuse in a relationship. Without access to money or the things they need to leave, victims will stay with their abusers for longer and endure more harm #16days
