We know that violence in the home harms women in particular and causes great distress to families. Woking Soroptimists raise awareness about this locally. We also support Your Sanctuary, the charity in Surrey that helps all those who have suffered domestic abuse.
In addition to financial donations, we periodically collect tinned and dried foodstuffs to give to women and their families who often arrive at the local refuge without anything. Your Sanctuary give us a list of the most useful products to fill their current needs. This may also include toiletries and household cleaning products.
At our recent anniversary lunch, we were able to present Your Sanctuary with donations of over £2,000.
