We need your support to make sure we are there for women when they call, when they need somewhere safe to sleep. We want every woman to #StaySafeAtHome but we need your help.
There are still lots of ways you can still support and fundraise for Solace from your home – from online quizzes to virtual marathons and Twitch streaming, we’re coming up with lots of exciting ways to support us!
If you want to discuss any fundraising ideas or ways you can support our emergency appeal you can contact Beth below.
