Inspirational Fundraiser
Discover how inspirational fundraiser Chloe is going the extra mile to support women and children impacted by domestic abuse. Through her JustGiving campaign for Central Women’s Aid Chloe has already raised over £500.
At Central Women’s Aid, we are continually moved by the strength, compassion, and determination of our supporters. This week, we’re proud to spotlight Chloe, an inspirational fundraiser whose dedication to helping survivors is nothing short of remarkable.
Chloe is taking on a personal challenge to raise vital funds through JustGiving, supporting the life-changing work we do every day to provide refuge, recovery, and advocacy for women and children escaping domestic abuse.
“If you asked me a year ago whether I knew anything about Central, My answer would have been no. Fast forward to today and I would describe it as the charity that helped me regain power, peace and faith in my future.
During my healing period, I have spent most of my weekends hiking. It is something that to me has been a huge part of my healing process.
Climbing Mountains
“I read a post one day about how climbing a mountain is a bit like coming out of an abusive relationship. It is daunting and challenging. The initial climb up the mountain/leaving the abuser is a long hard track and even once you’re at the top it isn’t over. You have to climb back down. Just like once you leave, it isn’t always over: you will find yourself tackling trauma bonds, facing court battles etc. But despite the struggles you may face along the way, with support of professionals, family or whoever it may be, it is always possible to complete the climb, or regain safety and live in peace.
That’s where it comes into why I wanted to do this challenge to raise funds for Central.
Mainly for myself, as someone who is still very much facing the struggles of ‘life after abuse’, I am trying to convince myself that anything I put my mind to, I can achieve. Women are strong. I do not need a man’s help to achieve my goals. And better still, I want to do it to raise awareness for such an amazing charity, that I genuinely could not have done without over the last 5 months.”
Chloe’s Journey
Chloe’s journey is especially powerful because it’s grounded in lived experience and hope for change. By sharing her story and stepping up to fundraise, she is not only raising money but also awareness — helping to challenge stigma and ensure that survivors feel seen, heard, and supported.
All funds raised through Chloe’s campaign will directly support women and children affected by domestic abuse. From providing emergency accommodation and one-to-one support, to delivering recovery programmes like Steps to Freedom, your donations will help survivors rebuild their lives with safety, security, and peace.
We are so grateful to Chloe for her courage and determination -and to everyone who donates, shares, and supports her campaign.
