I spoke to @itvnews about the dire situation the increased cost of living is leaving women and children in. The crisis is leaving survivors feeling like there is no hope while pushing life-saving services to breaking point. We must act now.
If we can come together to support a football team, we can come together to build a world where domestic abuse is no longer tolerated. Stand with survivors 👉 share our powerful campaign. #HesComingHome#EnglandVsWales#WorldCup @wearehouse337

It’s not easy. But if exam stress is getting on top of you or someone you know, this page can help. https://t.co/T40nNCLRpU
It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek so you’re going to be hearing lots of chat about hashtag awareness. But we know awareness is nothing without action.

Ready to kickstart our #DeserveToBeHeard parliamentary reception ahead of #IWD2022. We'll be in conversation with key decision-makers and influencers around the need for improved mental health provisions for survivors. Thank you to @BallysFDN for funding our vital campaign.
'We know this crime is a many-headed monster that affects women in different ways; understanding differences is crucial in our response.' Thank you to @GillianKeegan MP for highlighting different forms of abuse and the devastating, long-lasting effect this has on survivors.
Great to join @womensaid’s #DeserveToBeHeard parliamentary reception this afternoon and hear from ambassadors @OfficialMelB and @Aliceliveing_ on their experiences of leaving an abusive relationship and needing people in the justice system to understand their pain.
Powerful words from our patron @OfficialMelB at our parliamentary reception today — she shares, 'I live with this trauma every day. We need people in the justice system to really understand...because my pain is never going to go away.' All survivors #DeserveToBeHeard. #IWD2022
Looking forward to hearing from some inspirational speakers about how we can break the barriers to ensure that survivors get the support they need to heal.
Domestic abuse has lasting impacts on the mental health of survivors, but many women face huge barriers in accessing support.
That is why we are proud to fund @womensaid’s vital campaign #DeserveToBeHeard and the parliamentary reception this #IWD2022.
Today in #Parliament, I signed a book of solidarity with #Ukraine. My thoughts and prayers remain with the Ukrainian people as they bravely defend themselves against Russia’s illegal and unprovoked invasion. #StandingWithUkraine 🇺🇦🇬🇧
Closing the day on being @womensaid for a year. Thank you to the incredible staff team @womensaid ,to brilliant women from the sector, to survivors whose hope & courage are ever inspiring, for your kindness & guidance. So much has been done, so so much left to do. Roll on year 2!
