I have chosen to support a well regarded and fantastic local charity : Saffron. This charity offers free counselling to women suffering from the trauma of abuse in its many forms. Over the last few years of covid restrictions, when working in healthcare, I have noticed a marked increase in women disclosing traumatic and deeply distressing life events. Therefore I want to raise money to fund specialist free counselling, so that those woman can talk about their trauma in a supportive environment. This support can lead to developing a better understanding of their past but also to learn new tools in order to cope with the silent but at times debilitating symptoms of abuse. I will be walking coast to coast along the Hadrian’s Wall solo over 6 days. This is a distance of 86 miles or 138 kilometres. I would be very grateful of your support.
