Yesterday our team led the APPG briefing on #16DaysOfActivism, hosted by the APPG Chair Dame Maria Miller MP.

Investment in the domestic abuse sector could bring savings of £23 billion per year.
To be clear that's £23,000,000,000 in public savings, ready to save lives and reduce strain on public services like the NHS.
Call on party leaders to invest today➡️
