Alan Campbell MP
• “I would like to congratulate you on the recent launch of your
campaign. It is campaigns like this that continue to raise
awareness of the issue and challenge the perceptions of what
people believe domestic violence entails.”
Lynda Waltho MP
• “Domestic violence blights and destroys lives. It is no respecter of
age, race, colour or creed; it's vitally important that we keep the
spotlight on it and Government focused on working with partners
to see it eradicated.”
