Hi,
This year, we're going to be featuring the 'Saving Survivors' Services' campaign from Women's Aid over the Christmas period.
As many of you will know, Women's Aid is a national domestic violence charity, which helps up to 250,000 women and children every year, and supports over 500 domestic and sexual violence services across the country.
The campaign aims to raise awareness of the impact cuts and welfare reform will have on vulnerable women and children.
A recent survey of their member organisations revealed that 1 in 5 is facing financial difficulties that will result in the reduction or loss of local refuge services.
Their Policy and Services manager, Deborah McIlveen, will be answering general questions on domestic violence, on Women?s Aid work in protecting women and children, what funding cuts mean for services, and how Mumsnet members can help to protect them.
So please join us here on Thursday 13th Dec at 1.30pm for the chat. If you can't make it then, as ever, please post up your advance questions here.
Thanks,
MNHQ
