Lifting for change: raising funds to help women and children affected by domestic abuse access safety, support and hope.

Every year, countless women and children endure the silent pain of domestic abuse, trapped in situations that threaten their safety and dignity. I am part of a dedicated team preparing to take on the Lift for Change challenge on 30 July 2026 at Woolwich Waves Leisure Centre, in partnership with GLL and the HER Centre. This unique weightlifting event is more than a test of strength - it is a powerful symbol of resilience and hope.

Domestic abuse leaves deep scars, but with your support, we can help survivors find their way to safety and rebuild their lives. The HER Centre provides vital specialist support, advocacy, wellbeing services, and practical assistance that transform lives every day. These services are not just helpful - they are essential lifelines that empower women and children to escape fear and reclaim their independence.

We urgently need your help to reach our target of £30,000 GBP. Every pound raised will directly fund these critical services, turning each lift into lasting change for those who need it most. Join us in this fight - your sponsorship will be a beacon of hope for survivors striving for a future free from abuse. Together, we can lift them up and create a world where safety and support are within everyone’s reach.

Thank you for standing with us to turn strength into support.
