We’re unique in what we do – providing specialist support for those left traumatised and often physically harmed by their former partners. We provide one to one support work along with running group programmes. We can provide help and support with theraputic counselling services, housing, legal issues, parenting, finances, building self confidence and helping people to understand domestic abuse and sexual violence.
We are looking for people to Marshal at our Charnwood Forest Cycle Ride taking place on 17th May 2020. We would love volunteers to Marshal along the route of our 10 mile, 20 mile and 50 mile bike ride. You will be there to provide support for the riders, to make sure that people know the route and be a contact point. We will need Marshals between 8am to 2pm. We will provide you with all you need for the morning. Please get in touch if you can help us out for the whole morning or for just a couple of hours, it's a great thing to do in pairs of you can bring someone along with you.
The Loughborough Half Marathon & Team Relay
Sunday 29th March 2020 sees the return of The Loughborough half marathon and team relay. The 13.1mile course has been described as one of the toughest in the East Midlands. Available places are hotly contested, with only 800 up for grabs this year.
Organised by the Loughborough based charity Living Without Abuse, all the money raised from the event goes towards the charity’s vital and much needed work of supporting men, women and children who have had their lives shattered by domestic abuse.
There are opportunities throughout Leicestershire to help out in local Morrisons stores and we have also secured street permits on those dates for Oakham, Uppingham and Market Harbough as well as Leicester City Centre, including routes to the LCFC stadium on the Saturday. Volunteers must be over 18 to take part in these collections (they can be 16 and 17 if they're with a parent or guardian).
