Why Refuge?One woman in four will experience domestic violence at some point in her lifetime so the likelihood is we all know someone who has been, or will be, affected. Domestic violence is a serious crime that destroys lives but for over 37 years Refuge has been supporting the women and children fleeing the violence in their homes. Your sponsorship will help Refuge reach out to even more women and children who desperately need support to rebuild their lives. For more information on the event visit the official BUPA London 10k website. If you have any questions, email fundraising@refuge.org.uk or call Sarah on 0207 395 7724.
