My Story

Why am I fundraising?

Did you know the police in England and Wales receive 100 calls every hour relating domestic abuse? (HMIC, 2015)
With three women being killed a fortnight by a current or ex-partner, so much needs to change before women are safe. This is why I am taking part in the Women's Aid 1.7 A Day, Your Way Challenge to raise vital funds and awareness for survivors of domestic abuse.

The life-saving support services offered at Women's Aid can be the difference between women and children staying and finding safety.

The difference your support can make:

£10 could fund a life-changing conversation between a professional Women's Aid support worker and a survivor of domestic abuse.

Women's Aid want to be there for every woman and child who needs then. I want to help end domestic abuse for good. With your help and donations we can make it happen.

On a personal level I wanted to put my money where my mouth is and make a positive contribution to helping women who find themselves in an abusive situation.

I’m tired of hearing daily stories of abuse in football, a game and culture I adore, and this is a practical way to show support. Please give what you can! 🩷
