Thank you to Refuge's 2007 'Pink Ladies' running team

More than 100 Refuge runners joined the fun 5k runs in London, Birmingham and Liverpool - our biggest ever Hydro Active team. The September sunshine brought out the crowds and a great day was had by all.  

Between them, runners raised over £16,000 to help women and children who are experiencing domestic violence. A fantastic result!

A special thank you to everywoman’s 46-strong ‘Networking on the Run’ team.  everywoman has been a great support to Refuge since our partnership began in 2004.
