As you prep the turkey, wrap gifts, meet with friends and sing along to carols, could you spare a moment to gift one of six life-changing experiences to a survivor of abuse at our Devon refuge?

The women and children who stay at refuge have often fled from horrifying home circumstances. They arrive carrying pain – both emotional and physical – and there are many steps they must take on their journey to a life free from abuse. We – and you – can play a vital part in helping them take steps in that journey. Can you help us do that this year? Here are six experiences you can gift to survivors of abuse this Christmas:

1. Wonder

You could gift a cinema ticket so that a child at refuge can be absorbed by the magic of cinema.

2. Fun

You could gift admission to The Milky Way so that a child can make happy memories with their mum and siblings.

3. Adventure

You could gift a riding lesson to give a woman or child an adventure many of our residents dream of having.

4. Healing

You could gift a surf lesson so that a woman or child at refuge can experience the healing power of the ocean.

5. Escape

You could gift a 6-month subscription to Audible so that families can lose themselves in an audiobook or podcast.

6. Strength

You could gift a 6-month gym membership so that a woman at refuge can feel the physical and mental health benefits of exercise.
