Whether your idea of fundraising is about getting on your bike or a walk in the park there's a way for you to help raise money for the wonderful charity Refuge. The charity helps women and children escape from domestic violence, providing shelter and assistance to rebuild a new life free from abuse. Refuge is working towards a world in which domestic violence is eliminated.
You can help them achieve this by raising money to keep the Refuge shelters going by joining Team Refuge!
