🍼 Urgent Request for New-born Support! 👶
We're seeking your kindness and generosity for a precious new born in need. Your donations can make a significant impact on providing essential items for a healthy start.
Needed Items: baby clothes, monitor and any baby essentials.

We've been raising concerns about the impact of local authority finances on our lifesaving member services. £500m is welcome, but it is critical that councils are funded to meet demand, and that no domestic abuse service faces further cuts as a result of this funding crisis.

🧵Today the #VictimsBill returns to parliament.

The Victims' Commissioner for England & Wales and I have bold ambitions for this Bill, which could transform the support available to victims of crime and domestic abuse.

But bold ambitions require bold legislation. 1/2
