We are able to access information and advise and encouragement through engagement with the team.
How can people support you?
Through online engagement and donating small amounts of money and encouraging others to do the same. We are currently working on our 1M people donating €1.
Do you have any success stories to share?
As the refuge itself is not open, we brought the refuge into the community by helping two families, in two months to get away from their abusive partners and relocate to a safer place.
