This year's Hearts of Queens Christmas Appeal will support Refuge, the U.K.'s largest domestic violence organisation.

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.

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

It costs £500 per day to run one shelter. Our fundraising target - £2,000 - aims to pay for four shelters for one day this Christmas.

Raffle: tickets cost £1 and will be drawn on Sunday 18 December 2022. We have some exciting prizes, including collector's item trainers, a golf experience and much more. See our Facebook page for a list of final prizes and the terms:

Thank you.
