Want to buy a gift for women and families in a refuge this Christmas?

Hello [santa]

As lots of you know, each year Refuge sets up a special gift list at John Lewis to provide gifts for women and children in their shelters.

If you fancy buying something off the list, here's the link.

And here's what Refuge have to say about it:

"As you may know, every year Refuge runs a Christmas appeal to collect presents for the women and children in our services, to make Christmas as special as possible for the women and children we support who are fleeing domestic violence. We try to ensure that everyone we're supporting gets around 2-3 gifts."

"The majority of women often flee their abusive partner in the middle of the night, too afraid to risk collecting their belongings. Many women arrive with little more than the clothes they and their children are wearing."

Here's the link again

Thanks all

Hello hello

Thanks for the feedback. Re Women's Aid - they were on our Giving Week roster of charities 18 months ago (and MNHQ matchfunded all donations). Very happy to look into Project Shoebox next year though.

Will ask Refuge if they'd like to comment on whether John Lewis are contributing anything directly although it may not be possible for Refuge to make a public comment about that.
