Share your story

Everyone has a story to tell. By sharing yours, you may empower survivors of all forms of violence against women, domestic abuse, and sexual violence to speak up and get the support they need while also lending a powerful voice to Cyfannol Women’s Aid’s awareness raising campaigns and fundraising efforts.

The Power of Storytelling

As a story volunteer, you can show other survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence that they are not alone. Your story can also inspire people to fundraise to support our vital services, and help us amplify the voices of survivors to raise awareness.

Whether you received support recently or years ago, we would love to hear about it, and share your experience to encourage others to reach out for help.

My life started the day I left him. I went to performing arts college, learnt to drive, did a degree, and slowly forged a career in working with children...

I feel there have been two times in my life where I have been saved. The first time was when I finally escaped my abuser... The second time was when Horizon took me on their caseload...
