Lauren Tate Holds Sale In Support Of Domestic Abuse Charity

Lauren Tate (Hands Off Gretel) is adding 25% off across her website and donating all profits raised from the sale of “Songs for Sad Girls” T-shirts & vinyls to IDAS “IDAS provide emergency refuge accommodation and support services for anyone suffering domestic abuse or sexual violence across North and South Yorkshire. They also run a rape support helpline and work with children and young people to overcome the effects of domestic abuse. The government’s advice on self or household-isolation will have a direct impact on adults and children experiencing domestic abuse. Home is not likely to be a safe place for survivors of domestic abuse. Social distancing and self-isolation will be used as a tool of coercive and controlling behaviour by perpetrators, and will shut down routes to safety and support. The impact of self-isolation will also have a direct impact on specialist services, who are already operating in an extremely challenging funding climate and risks delivering life-saving support during the pandemic. They could see challenges in funding, staff shortages and further demand for their help”. Lauren Tate’s website is here
