 Donate a gift for an adult or child escaping domestic abuse this Christmas
For survivors of domestic abuse and their children, arriving at a refuge often means coming with very little - sometimes only the clothes they are wearing. For many, this Christmas could be the first peaceful one in years however, it can also feel lonely.
You can help bring joy to survivors of domestic abuse in Surrey by donating a gift this Christmas.
