Have you thought about fundraising for MK Act? Support the Last Resort Fund: Help Us Reach Our Goal of £5,000 a Month Over the past year, we have supported over 2,000 victim-survivors of domestic abuse in Milton Keynes.

To continue meeting the growing demand for our services, we aim to raise £5,000 each month. Your support can help us ensure that survivors of domestic abuse receive the immediate and practical assistance they need. How You Can Help: 🟢Donate: Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference. 🟢Spread the Word: Share our mission with your network. 🟢Volunteer: Get involved and help us make a lasting impact.

Personal post alert... and it is a bit hard hitting ❓ Did you know that the average age of death for people experiencing homelessness is 46 for men and 42 for women... ❔ Homeless people are over nine times more likely to take their own life than the general population. ❓ People sleeping on the street are almost 17 times more likely to have been victims of violence. More than one in three people sleeping rough have been deliberately hit or kicked or experienced some other form of violence whilst homeless. People have even been set on FIRE. ❔ The statistics show that one third of care leavers become homeless in the first two years immediately after they leave care and 25% of homeless people have been in care at some point in their lives. I am not only a care leaver, but have personally been homeless and at risk of homelessness many times in my younger years – so raising money for this great cause is also somewhat personal. All donations are so very much appreciated, and I am looking forward to seeing just how much I (we) can raise this year! 🙏

We know that child exploitation is a vast & deeply damaging problem, but it's hard to imagine how we, as individuals, can make a difference. The truth is, we can. Here are some ways you can make an impact today: ➡️ Educate yourself: Take the time to learn from trusted sources about how this happens and understand how to spot the warning signs. ➡️ Support the helpers: Donate to or volunteer with organizations that are dedicated to fighting child exploitation. https://ncptf.org/donate ➡️ Be a trusted adult: creating close relationships with the children in your life helps to protect them. Develop open lines of communication so that they feel supported coming to you for help if they need it. Together, we can make a difference. It's within our power. 💪 Small acts can make ripple effects when we work together. #justonemore #childhoodmatters #NCPTF
