About us

Team Refuge are running the iconic London Marathon to raise funds and awareness for survivors of domestic abuse.

One woman in four will experience domestic violence at some point in her lifetime and two women are killed each week in England and Wales by a current or former partner. Refuge supports thousands of women & children on any given day, experiencing domestic & sexual abuse, female genital mutilation, forced marriage, stalking, trafficking, prostitution & so-called ‘honour’ based violence. 

"It isn't easy to break away from a violent partner; I don't think I could have done it without Refuge's support. Refuge saved my life". - Refuge client.

Just £10 could provide a woman arriving at a refuge with the essentials she needs for her first night.
