This Christmas we're asking you to help us support families living in the domestic abuse refuges at our chosen charity Glow. (Part of the Honeycomb Group)

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on everyone this year, including a devastating impact on families experiencing domestic abuse. Across the UK, there were at least 16 domestic abuse killings during the first three weeks of lockdown and 1100 fewer refuge bed spaces were available due to social distancing, staff shortages and a lack of PPE.

For Glow's refuges, Christmas is always a busy time making the festivities as perfect as we can for our families while continuing our vital support to help them address and overcome their experiences.

For Abbie, this Christmas refuge means she no longer has to worry mummy's boyfriend will hurt mummy, and for Robbie, refuge means he's happy his mum no longer cries every night when she thinks he's sleeping.

This year 38 families, like Abbie's and Robbie's, will spend Christmas in one of Glow's three refuges because of domestic abuse.

The cost of just two balloons will provide a specialist worker to support families like Abbie's and Robbie's.

Without refuges and this specialist support available, many would be at risk of returning to their abuser.

This year help us give the gift of safety, recovery and a future free from abuse.

We would love to celebrate on Christmas Day with each of our refuge residents watching all the balloons be released to mark the start of our race.

Our fundraising target is: £500

Gross monies raised so far: £189

Supporters so far: 16
