Supportive Quotes - Page 15

• My family are very supportive and always have been. They weren't the kind of parents that pushed me into it.

• I have been working with Women's Aid since 2003 when I became the charity's first Ambassador, and am so pleased to be able to be a part of the 'Real Man' campaign against domestic violence.

Just by speaking out against domestic violence and being supportive of those directly affected we can all make a positive difference.
