Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

I am very passionate for making awareness about domestic violence as I have been a victim of domestic violence (physical and sexual abuse)when I was younger. Since then, I have had severe anxiety and depression and this meant that I had to give up many things that I loved including dance, performing and even just going out with friends. I lost all my confidence. But since I have gotten help for the effects of the violence that I suffered when I was younger I really want to challenge myself whilst donating for charity. It has been years since I have properly performed for myself and haven't been ashamed afterwards because I felt like a failure. I want to dance in front of an audience in a show all about raising awareness for such an important cause.  Other people (my friends and fellow students) will be performing and I believe that this show will prove to people of all ages that you can do it and it's never too late. That you are strong and now matter how weak they made you feel - you can overcome anything. This is a very difficult challenge for me as when I had anxiety even leaving the house was a struggle. This is a personal goal for myself and I'd love you to support me by donating to this incredible charity and by doing that, you will help make a stand against domestic violence.

Any money raised from the charity show (tickets, refreshments at the show etc...) and any other charity events that I will hold at my school to do with the show will all be donated to the charity. All donations will be made through the JustGiving site and I hope that I can raise as much money as possible!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

About the charity

Established in 1998, Standing Together Against Domestic Violence coordinates the ground-breaking multi-agency response to domestic violence. Standing Together influences national policy and practice by initiating and driving innovation, providing safer options for women and their children and holding perpetrators accountable. Standing Together builds and supports effective multi agency partnerships throughout the UK to meet the needs of survivors of domestic violence. Standing Together believes that that domestic violence is a serious and high volume crime which no one agency can deal with effectively if acting alone. It destroys families and damages society. The facts about domestic violence are shocking and all communities, classes and ages are affected. 1 in 4 women experience domestic violence. Two women are murdered in the UK by their current or former partner every week. Standing Together trains all agencies to deal with domestic violence effectively and consults with survivors to inform improvements in services.
