I will be running (quick walking!) 56K (35 miles) in February for Refuge. I’ve not run more than a mile at a time since 2022 - this will be a big challenge for me.

On any given day, Refuge supports thousands of women and their children.

Just £15 could provide essentials for a woman arriving at a refuge.

Many arrive with little more than the clothes they are wearing. Your donation could provide essentials like toiletries and food to help a woman through her first night.

Having been the victim of domestic abuse, I was lucky enough to have somewhere to go and family and friends that could support me emotionally, with shelter and financially - but that is not everyone’s story. It is terrifying to leave, many women just trying to protect their children, we need to make sure they have somewhere safe to go.

Every £1 makes a difference. Thank you!
