Over £500,000 will go towards the charity which supports women and children affected by gender-based violence
April 3, 2024 13:24Jewish Women’s Aid 36-hour fundraising campaign has brought in over half a million pounds to help provide for Jewish women and children affected by domestic and sexual violence.
With the support of 129 champions and 2,415 donors, the charity organisation managed to raise over £500,000 during the marathon campaign. The money will go toward JWA’s specialised support service for victims of gender-based abuse, a service for which demand has increased by 24 per cent in the last year.
“It’s been an amazing few days,” said JWA chair of trustees, Caroline Ratner. “I am so proud that our ‘Protect All Jewish Women from Abuse’ campaign has been such a success.
"We are so thankful to our supporters for rallying around the vulnerable women in our community and for helping us ensure that we can continue our vital work.”
