The CEO of Refuge has said in The Guardian that they are at serious risk of having to shut their doors permently because of cuts to funding. They are already turning women away and now they might close as early as the summer She said she is the most worried she has been in 30 years!!

We can't allow this to happen. What the hell will happen to abused women and children!?

Could we as a site do something to help? Or at least could you give us some ideas hq??

I don't know. I seriously hope there is. There's a petition running on this link, but isn't due to close until next year, so we need more immediate action. :( This is just horrible.

I wonder if a Q&A or web chat with the CEO might be possible.
