To be free to fly. 1.6 million women in the UK experienced domestic abuse in just one year (2019). Of these, 1 in 15 were pregnant. That's thousands of women and babies, exposed to abuse. And only the ones we know about.We need to change this.Making the decision to leave an abusive relationship is hard enough when it’s “just you”. But when you have a baby on the way you need stability, not to mention comfort, calm, rest and peace. Support, love and care. It takes a village to raise a child so we aim to help our nation rally around women and children in need of protection, love and support to break free from abuse.To support us please visit: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/freetoflyRegistered Charity No 1194841 Show less
