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

Calls to The National Domestic Abuse Helpline (run by Refuge) rose by 49% and killings doubled weeks after lockdown

Refuge supports around 6,000 women & children on any given day, experiencing domestic and sexual violence, female genital mutilation, forced marriage, stalking, trafficking, prostitution & so-called ‘honour’ based violence.

With no London & manchester marathon and so many other fundraising events, charities like Refuse are missing out on £millions. 

By kindly sponsoring us today you are helping to save and change the lives of thousands of women and children escaping domestic violence.
