This will be put towards the installation of CCTv in the new refuge.<\/p>\n<p>For the cheque handover, the charity\u2019s Chief Executive, Neil Frackleton, invited a group of Soroptimists to visit the shop and offices, and to meet some of his staff. The result was an in-depth discussion about SWACA\u2019s work, how much they value Club\u2019s support, and how best to continue the relationship. Monetary donations are of the most benefit and are always used for the support of the many women and children needing SWACA\u2019s care.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=&#8221;white&#8221; border_width=&#8221;3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5008&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;bounceInDown&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]SWACA provides free and confidential support for all adults, young people and children experiencing domestic violence.
