Charity of the Year:
Does your company choose a Charity of the Year? If yes, please nominate Refuge. Our expert team will work with you to ensure the experience is mutually rewarding. Our domestic violence projects are local and national and no matter what you choose, we will be able to work with you so you can see see exactly how you are making a difference to the women and children who need us. One woman in four will experience domestic violence at some point during her lifetime. It is therefore likely that we all have at least one colleague, friend or family member who has been affected but we probably don’t know it as domestic violence thrives on secrecy. But we all have a part to play in ending domestic abuse and ensuring women and children can live in safety - and by supporting Refuge you can do just that.
