TLC: Talk, Listen, Change believe that everyone should be surrounded by a circle of safe, healthy, happy relationships in all areas of their life. TLC’s work focuses on supporting people to establish this – by providing domestic abuse services, with a focus on working with perpetrators, counselling and community projects.

During the current pandemic and lockdown, instances of domestic abuse and violence are known to have significantly increased, and charities like TLC are experiencing a greater demand for their services alongside a reduction in voluntary funding. The impact of lockdown on domestic abuse services is expected to last at least 3 years.

“Littleborough & Area Ladies Circle believe home should be a safe place, and if it isn't, help should be available irrespective of somebody's financial position.”

Whilst our usual fundraising events are out of the window this year - thank you, Covid! - we've had to get creative, and have instead devised a slightly bonkers virtual challenge - Tour de Ladies Circle!

LALC and TLC have joined forces, and our team will be walking, running, hiking and biking across Europe, covering 22 countries. We will start in Littleborough, UK and finish in Iceland via the capital city of every European country Ladies Circle is represented in - a total distance of 8,911 miles - in 12 months!

Be sure to check in here for weekly progress updates; we'll also be introducing you to the team..

Please do wish us luck and donate as generously as you can to support our fantastic Charity.
