Emily Corrigan, Head of Fundraising: ‘You cannot underestimate the impact that these gifts will have on families and individuals who have been exposed to the trauma of domestic abuse. Knowing that they are cared for and valued by people in their local community makes such a difference. Christmas is a difficult time for our clients so we’d like to thank all those who have supported this campaign. Merry Christmas to all!’
