To promote Domestic Violence Awareness Week 2015, we set up a stall at South Gloucestershire Council’s office. There were bags, balloons, leaflets and a lot of marshmallows! A big thank you to South Gloucestershire Council for having us.

The wonderful Ian Richmond ran from his office at GWS Media all the way to our Survive office, all in the space of his lunch hour! He ran to raise awareness of domestic violence during DVA week. Thank you so much Ian!!!

Our Refuge Worker Mas would like to undergo ISVA training to enable her to support more women.
This qualification will enable her to formally support even more women in a field that is sadly underfunded.
