We’re hugely proud to have helped secure a life-saving fund for abuse survivors
Life-saving cash
SOME women cannot leave their abusive, controlling partner for one simple reason: They have no money, nor access to any.
They end up staying.
Some, appallingly, end up dying.
So we are hugely proud to have helped secure a £300,000 fund from which survivors can get the grants they need to break free.
That could pay for food, nappies, a deposit on a home or the first rent.
Enough to leave a violent partner.

THE Tories are making a mistake trying to force a reluctant public into major lifestyle changes in a reckless dash for Net Zero.
Take Energy Secretary Grant Shapps’ plan to make gas pricier and electricity cheaper.
He hopes the 80 per cent of homes with gas central heating will swap boilers for £15,000 heat pumps, known to struggle in cold winters.
That’s wildly unlikely — and politically tone-deaf.

Flight rights
TOO many airlines treat disabled passengers as second-class citizens.
They leave them sitting in the plane long after everyone else has got off. Or they carelessly damage their wheelchairs.
