Dear Lauren and Students, Thank you so much for your kind gift in support of the work of Refuge. Your gift will help us to provide vital services, including safe emergency accommodation, individual and group counselling, and community based outreach services, which enable women and children who have experienced the horror of domestic violence to rebuild their lives. Below is an example of the thank you letters and cards we sometimes receive from the women and children we help. Women like Mary, who is one of 3000 women and children escaping domestic violence in England every day through our national network of services. Unfortunately, Mary’s story is not unique and without the support that donors such as yourself give, we could not continue to help women like Mary. Mary says ‘You were always there to make me smile, even on the darkest days. You are all awesome and amazing. Day in and day out you are making a crucial difference in the lives of women and children. Never forget that.’ The scale of domestic violence in the UK is staggering: one woman in four will experience it at some point in her lifetime, and two women are killed by a current or former partner every week. Refuge saves lives, helping women and children every day to escape violence and build a safe and positive future - and it is gifts such as yours which make this possible.
