While the Touch team have been delivering the last of our events for 2024 and getting ready to enjoy a well-deserved long holiday break, everyone has also been collecting for 'I Choose Freedom,' one of our chosen local charities, as they get ready to provide festive donations for the women and children at their refuge.
The refuges, located in East and West Surrey, offer a path to freedom to 39 survivors and up to 65 children fleeing domestic abuse at one time. Survivors often arrive with nothing but the clothes they are wearing, leaving behind everything they know and own including jobs, properties, schools, friends, family and pets.
Supporting our local community is a central focus at Touch and a meaningful way to make a positive impact, particularly for individuals and families facing challenges.
It was a pleasure to meet Sam and Tereza who came to collect and had a chance to tell us more about the important work they are doing. We look forward to regrouping in the new year to discuss further support for I Choose Freedom.
