Last week, the High Sheriff of Powys hosted an event to raise awareness about the effects of domestic abuse and to fundraise for Calan DVS and MFCC. We were honoured to have our Survivor Ambassador, Sarah Taylor, share her personal journey through domestic abuse and post-separation abuse, offering powerful insights to the audience. The event was well-attended, and our CEO, Michelle Whelan, along with Head of Operations, Moyra Parfitt, addressed key challenges facing the domestic abuse sector, such as the rising demand for services and the urgent need for sustainable funding. A heartfelt thank you to the High Sheriff, everyone who attended, and those who donated. Your support truly makes a difference!
