This week we’re celebrating Sustainable Artist C.I.C who raised an amazing £275 through a charity art auction they held in aid of Refuge. “We were inspired to support Refuge because of their unwavering dedication to providing crucial services for those in need. The best part of fundraising for Refuge was witnessing the community's generosity and the profound impact our collective efforts could make. It was a testament to how art and empathy can unite us for a greater cause." We are so grateful to Sustainable Artists and to all of the talented artists who generously donated pieces. Find out more about Sustainable artist and opportunities for artists here: sustainableartist.co.uk.

We opened our first refuge in 1971 and now run a network of emergency confidential accommodation across the country. But that’s not the limit of our services. Here’s just some of what else we offer: • Here’s just some of what else we offer: The freephone, 24-hour National Domestic Abuse Helpline, 0808 200 247 • Expert guidance for women going through the courts and the criminal justice system • Specialist support for children • Outreach services for women who still living with their perpetrator or who do not need to stay in a refuge Refuge does more than treat the symptoms of domestic violence – we’re determined to treat the underlying social problems fuelling male abuse of women. That’s why we run high-profile campaigns to drive social change and lobby the Government to ensure that women receive the protection they need. All of this is backed up by high-quality research, drawn directly from our 300-strong team of frontline experts and their experiences with survivors.

We are so grateful to STIGA for generously donating garden products for our accommodation services. "It’s so important that survivors who are fleeing domestic abuse have a place to go that feels safe and homely. These products will enable those fleeing abuse to tend to their outdoor space in the dispersed refuge accommodation, which can be therapeutic in itself, giving them the best start on their journey to re-build their lives’ after abuse.” Kaylee Linton, Service Manager at Refuge https://lnkd.in/gv5xS-3S
