Domestic abuse affects 1.7 million women in the UK each year, leaving long-lasting emotional, psychological, and physical scars. For many survivors, traditional therapy alone isn’t enough to rebuild confidence, reconnect with their bodies, or overcome trauma-related anxiety, disassociation, and isolation. Fight Forward was founded to change that. Created by GB Boxer and Gold Medallist Lesley Sackey, the organisation uses the healing power of boxing to support survivors in reclaiming strength, autonomy, and hope.

The Civet Project is a UK-based conservation charity protecting civets, a small cat-like carnivore found in Asia, their habitats, and the people who share these environments.

Through research, education, and community engagement, they reduce exploitation, protect communities from health risks, and work toward sustainable futures for people, wildlife, and the planet.
