🔴 A huge thank you to Chance for hosting our Children’s Easter away day, welcoming our Children’s Outreach Team and a small group of young people aged 9–15 that we support in South West Surrey 💚

🐴 Mane Chance is the Horse Sanctuary, providing a safe haven for horses who have experienced abuse and neglect. During their visit, the young people met the horses, hearing their stories and learning how they’ve rebuilt trust with humans 🤝

It was a truly special experience — from caring for the horses to handling rescued chickens, the group gained so much confidence and joy from the day.

We’re so grateful to the Sanctuary for the warm welcome and the incredible work they do 🐴✨

🔴 Today is International Women’s Day with the theme of Give to Gain 💜 — a moment to celebrate our work and stand with survivors ✨

We’re proud to provide specialist domestic abuse services supporting survivors in the boroughs of Guildford and Waverley 🏡🤝

Give To Gain emphasises the power of reciprocity and support. When people, organisations, and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase. Giving is not a subtraction, it's intentional multiplication. When women thrive, we all rise.

Whether through donations, knowledge, resources, infrastructure, visibility, advocacy, education, training, mentoring, or time, contributing to women's advancement helps create a more supportive and interconnected world.

🔴 Valentine’s Day isn’t safe for everyone.

For some, it can be a time when domestic abuse escalates 💔

Abusers may use “love bombing” — gifts, attention, and grand gestures — to disguise control and coercion 🎁🚩
