Since the scheme’s launch in April 2020, to 17th March 2024, the scheme has helped 8630 survivors, including 2423 children over five to safety.
Wow!
That is amazing - and it's rather sad that such a scheme is obviously so necessary.

Four years ago today "Rail to Refuge" was launched - it has come up in our calendar. Announced as a "during Covid" thing I wondered how it was getting on and just checked - still running and looks permanent at https://www.womensaid.org.uk/what-we-do/supporting-our-members/travel-to-refuge/ and with coach travel added
Travel to Refuge
Free travel for those fleeing domestic abuse.
Travel to Refuge is an umbrella scheme in which travel companies cover the cost of train or coach tickets for women, men and children escaping domestic abuse travelling to refuge accommodation.
