Christmas can be one of the most dangerous times of the year for someone living with domestic abuse. A perpetrator may use more time at home, financial pressures and alcohol use as an excuse to escalate existing abuse, and victims often have less opportunities to report the abuse, and fewer routes to safety. That's why every call we answer and every Live Chat conversation matters. A single conversation can help someone feel heard, believed and supported—and be the first step towards safety.

The money you raise will help us to answer every call to our free, confidential helpline and respond to every Live Chat message from someone who has found the courage ask for our help. By doubling your donation, you'll be doubling the time we can give to every survivor who finds the courage to reach out to us for support, ensuring they feel heard, understood and believed. With your support we'll be able help them leave an abusive relationship, or find ways to stay more safely.
