Safe In Sussex receive Xmas donation from Chamber members 

Local charity Safe In Sussex were delighted to receive an early Christmas present in the form of a donation from Worthing and Adur Chamber of Commerce.

The charity, who provides refuge accommodation for women and children subjected to domestic abuse, received the cheque for £385 from Tracie Davey, Operations Manager of the Worthing and Adur Chamber of Commerce. The money was raised through a Christmas raffle at the Chamber’s Xmas social event.

Louise Gisbey, Fundraising & Marketing Manager for Safe in Sussex said, ‘our refuges are a place where women and their children can feel safe and be given the vital support they need, both practical and emotional and all donations large or small make a tremendous difference’.

‘We have been really touched this year by several businesses and individuals who have supported us and this particular donation will go towards funding a new oven which we desperately need.  We are really thrilled that the Chamber decided on our charity and look forward to continuing to work closely with them.’
