ANOTHER DOMESTIC ABUSE CHARITY RECEIVES DONATION

The STIGA team have been offering their support to a number of domestic abuse charities as part of their We Care That You Care campaign.

The manufacturer says it is well documented that gardening can help substantially to improve both physical and mental well-being. With this in mind, they say they reached out to several charities offering them mowers and gardening tools for those victims in their care.

WWIN is an independent charity providing specialist domestic abuse services to support victims, educate communities, and prevent abuse across Sunderland and Wearside. STIGA donated to them 4 x Collector 136e cordless lawnmowers, 4 x GT 300e cordless grass trimmers and 4 x HT 300e cordless hedge trimmers to this charity.

Ciara Barrett Smith, Findaway Project coordinator said, "We're very grateful to Stiga for the gardening equipment they have donated. Providing green spaces for women and children to enjoy at each of our safe accommodation sites is so important. Access to the outdoors is vital for our health and wellbeing, especially for those who have been subjected to abuse and trauma."

Ciara continued "These tools have helped us maintain and look after those spaces; ensuring they look their best for the women and children we support, and that we can get the most out of the space we have."

If anyone is suffering from domestic abuse they are not alone and should contact The National Domestic Abuse Helpline open 24/7 on 0808 2000 247 for confidential support.
