First Light has launched a match fund campaign to raise £10k in one week to support women and girls fleeing domestic abuse.
To achieve its aim, the charity must raise £5k in donations over the coming days, which will then be matched by the Big Give Match Fund.
The money raised for the crisis fund will mean that First Light can provide immediate support to those in need – funding travel costs, shelter, clothing, electrical goods and moving costs. The fund will also support with hidden costs that other funds don’t cover, for example, the cost of a credit check to get a new tenancy agreement.
The campaign got underway yesterday and runs through to Thursday October 17. For more information and to donate, click here.
