We work with many different clients, but today I want to give a special shout out to one of our long standing clients, I Choose Freedom. The team work tirelessly to provide a safe space and a path to freedom for survivors of domestic abuse. They have three refuges that house women and children and as part of their Refuge for All project, they also offer self-contained units to support any survivor. They do incredible, life changing work. Tonight I Choose Freedom and their CEO Emma will appear on our teleboxes with Queen Camilla in the documentary 'Behind Closed Doors' at 9pm on ITV. Emma is also featuring on the ITV News between 6.30 and 7.30 which covers the importance of refuges and the funding battle. Please, tune in, and if you can please support them in anyway you can it would be so appreciated, as with many charities at the moment the fight for funding and therefore the ability to save more women and children from terrible experiences is very real. We are so so proud to play a very small part in this organisation's journey and the work they do.

I Choose Freedom comprises of 3 refuges, based across Surrey, for women and children fleeing severe domestic abuse. Help us help others through fundraising and donations.
