Story
This year see's The Haven celebrating 50 years of delivering vital support to women and their children vulnerable to domestic abuse and homelessness. To help them celebrate I am taking on their dual challenge this year!
I am joining a team of 50 skydivers, each skydiver representing each year of The Havens vital services since its launch as an organisation in 1973. AND I am also joining their team of challengers taking on The Welsh Three Peaks – both challenges are taking place than 4 weeks apart and I hope you will support me by donating to my page.
Climbing a mountain (let alone three!) can be tough, throw in a 14,000ft skydive and you have yourself the ultimate challenge! The adrenaline rush as you reach a 120mph velocity and the aching muscles as you take your last step to the final summit of the mountain, are all reminders that I will be helping a woman and her children to reach the summit of their journey too – a happier life free from the trauma of abuse.
The Haven Wolverhampton began 50 years ago. They recognised there was no provision for homeless women in Wolverhampton, our founder brought a property that would provide them shelter. From there they quickly realised the links between homelessness and domestic abuse. 50 years later and our service has evolved to provide a breadth of vital wrap around services for women and their children vulnerable to domestic abuse and homelessness.
Will you help make me to celebrate their 50th anniversary with them and ensure they can continue to provide vital care and support by donating to my page, as I embark on these incredible challenges?
Thank you for visiting my page and for your support.
