Scotland is preparing for a rise in domestic abuse and intimate partner violence cases due to #lockdown. For many people, especially women, the home is not a neutral or safe place. Domestic and Intimate partner violence can have serious and fatal consequences.

A huge group of creatives led by by Rachel of Hackley, Mhairi of Paper Houses Design, Fiona of Camban Studio, and Helen of Helen Ruth Scarves, have pulled together to do something about this.
The #IndieReliefRaffle, in support of @GWomensAid.

@GWomensAid offers a free, confidential and non-judgemental, specialist service to women, children and young people in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire who have experienced domestic abuse.

This is something that is happening in our communities. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/indie-relief-raffle1

Almost one in three women aged 16-59 will experience domestic abuse. These are our sisters, our mothers, our friends, us.
Some of the makers that have donated prizes to the raffle have experience of living with domestic abuse. Some have direct experience with @GWomensAid.

Here are some of the stories that makers involved with this raffle have shared.
