You've just joined a community of thousands of supporters! From hosting a pub quiz to doing a head shave, we've seen people like you do some pretty amazing things to raise money for domestic abuse survivors. What will you do?

Story

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.

Just read that again! One in four! This is a charity I wish I had know about many moons ago. Maybe I could have got help and got out sooner.

I had a very controlling, mentally, physically abusive partner who couldn't take no for an answer. I lived in constant fear, not knowing what would next set him off, constant fear of him returning home and not knowing what version of him would return. Not feeling I had anyone to turn to as he was charming and people loved him. Surely they would never believe little old me if I told them the things he did to me as he was liked by everyone. I felt hopeless and felt there was no light at the end of the tunnel for me.

I am now in a wonderful place, with a wonderful husband and 3 amazing children. I want to be able to help others get out, become free and with the help of this charity, make that possible for every single woman.

For every £5 donation you will receive one free entry into the most amazing raffle.

Items 1 to 9 are postable inside and outside the UK.
