This week we received a Thank You card from Refuge - I wanted to share it with you - I think it speaks for itself.
'Thank You very much for your kind donation. Items such as these are invaluable and have brought a lot of joy for the women who use our services.
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 ex-partner every week.
Refuge saves lives, helping over 1000 women and children every day to escape violence and build a safe and positive future.
It is donations such as yours which make it possible and help make a difference to the lives of women and children who use our services.
Thank you once again.'
Thank you for your donations - please, please, keep them coming.
Those statistics are scary...
ReplyDeleteSobering statistics are so necessary to remind us all why we are doing this frankly. Thankyou for the reminder, and thankyou for coordinating and organising this amazingly simple but incredibly brilliant idea. Jan x
