A special thank you to Charlotte\u00a0 Kneer, CEO of Reigate and Banstead Women’s Aid (RBWA), for speaking at\u00a0 our Club meeting\u00a0 yesterday.\u00a0 \u00a0Charlotte gave us the\u00a0 latest news from the refuges which have coped amazingly well during the pandemic. At one point, Charlotte mentioned that they were having to turn away 8 or 9 women for every refuge space they had, compared to 3 being turned away pre- pandemic. Luckily,\u00a0 they\u00a0 have received some more\u00a0 funding from Surrey County Council and have been able to accommodate emergency support\u00a0 for\u00a0 families in another large refuge. This new refuge will accommodate up to 19 families by mid May.<\/span><\/p>\n

Charlotte\u00a0 has been asked to meet with\u00a0 Victoria Atkins,\u00a0 the Safeguarding minister,\u00a0 to look into the possibility of rolling out the RBWA\u00a0 model across Surrey with a possibility of it being rolled out nationally. With regards to the Domestic Abuse Bill,\u00a0 Charlotte said that although there is now a duty on local authorities to provide accommodation,\u00a0 there needed to be a\u00a0 reference to what a refuge actually is because some landlords may take advantage of this in offering private accommodation rather than specialist support.<\/span><\/p>\n

Charlotte will be continuing to work with the OECD in coming up with global policy solutions in dealing with violence against women and girls.\u00a0 Charlotte has produced a podcast with the OECD and this will be released shortly. Also, she is advising on a documentary of\u00a0 problematic portrayals of domestic abuse\u00a0 with the BBC and Netflix.<\/span><\/p>\n

We asked Charlotte how we can be of most help to RBWA and she said that\u00a0 if we can continue to fundraise for support staff,\u00a0 this would be greatly appreciated.<\/span><\/p>\n
