Take on the Challenge!!! #WalkForWish

Walk 50 miles in July to support victims of domestic abuse in our refuges and in the community. The challenge is a great way to get motivated and spend more time outside!

Averaging around 3500 steps a day, you could record your mileage daily or take longer walks on the weekends, join friends and family and enjoy moving! It's completely customisable. Track your miles and upload your progress to JustGiving so that your donors can see your progress.

It's not too late to register: https://www.trybooking.com/uk/...

At the end of the month we'll send you a digital certificate of achievement. Raising awareness of our mission is so important to us, so please remember to share pics and tag us, adding #WalkForWish on your socials! Visit our Facebook

July is also Honour Based Abuse Awareness Month

What is HBA? 'It's a form of domestic abuse which is motivated by the abuser’s perception that a person has brought or may bring ‘dishonour’ or ‘shame’ to themselves, their family or the community. It can take many forms, and can be complex to identify, but centres around the idea of controlling individuals to make them behave in certain ways or subscribe to certain beliefs.'

Victims of HBA often face abuse from multiple perpetrators, not only an intimate partner but family and community may be involved also. This can make escaping abuse extremely difficult. Visit the Karma Nirvana website for more details on HBA.

The Wish Centre can support people who are experiencing HBA or forced marriage, just get in touch via our 'contact us' page. If you require support in another language please let us know.
