Black Country Women’s Aid’s popular International Women’s Day fundraiser returns this year with the generous support of Waldrons Solicitors.
The event, taking place at Churchill’s in Wednesbury on Saturday 8th March, has already sold out. This is a brilliant start to the charity’s ‘Key to a New Life’ campaign to build 10 much-needed refuge flats for Black Country families fleeing domestic abuse.
Amy Lou Smith, a Britain’s Got Talent finalist in 2023, will be performing some of her favourite floor fillers. In addition to dinner and dancing, there will be exciting fundraising games, a raffle with incredible prizes and a lively photo booth.
Waldrons staff are looking forward to attending again this year as part of their continuing support for Black Country Women’s Aid. As the Waldrons charity of the Year, BCWA works closely with the law firm on corporate volunteering, raising awareness of domestic abuse issues in and out of the workplace and on vital fundraising.
Dawn Cash, Director at Waldrons said: “We are incredibly proud to support Black Country Women’s Aid once again for their International Women’s Day fundraiser. At Waldrons, we believe in standing alongside organisations that make a real difference in our communities, and BCWA’s vital work provides a lifeline to those in need. The ‘Key to a New Life’ campaign is an inspiring and essential initiative and we are honoured to play a part in helping to create safe spaces for families fleeing domestic abuse. We look forward to another fantastic sold-out event and to continuing our support for BCWA throughout the year.”
Sara Ward, CEO of Black Country Women’s Aid added: “A sell out fundraiser is a fantastic way to start the second year of our partnership with Waldrons, and we’re so proud to welcome them again as event sponsors.
“Building a new refuge is a necessary, ambitious but utterly achievable goal. We are so grateful to Waldrons and our other donors for supporting this project to provide new, safe accommodation for local mothers and children. With our help, more families will recover from the trauma of abuse and start again.”
